“I used to pride myself on your happiness, Tahli. I judged myself as a man based on how big your smile was. But that was deception. Because I was holding back the full truth from you. So, I wasn’t a good man. I was mimicking one. Baby love, I fear that you would’ve been so much more if you hadn’t met me. But I latched myself to you anyway. And I let you pull me up as far into the clouds as you could. But you were always supposed to go higher.”
