- 3:41I
- 3:41see
- 3:41a
- 3:42lot
- 3:42of

- 4:04barely
- 4:05shows

- 4:06They
- 4:07accept
- 4:07crumbs
- 4:08because
- 4:08rejection
- 4:09feels
- 4:09scarier
- 4:09than
- 4:10loneliness.
- 4:12And
- 4:12before

- 4:20that
- 4:20if
- 4:20I
- 4:20love
- 4:21somebody
- 4:21deeply
- 4:21enough,
- 4:22if
- 4:22I
- 4:23showed
- 4:23up
- 4:23enough,
- 4:24if
- 4:24I
- 4:24was
- 4:24patient
- 4:25enough,
- 4:25forgiving
- 4:26enough,
- 4:27understanding
- 4:27enough,
- 4:28he
- 4:28would
- 4:29finally
- 4:29see
- 4:29how
- 4:29worthy
- 4:30I
- 4:30was
- 4:31and
- 4:31step
- 4:31up
- 4:32to
- 4:32be
- 4:32the
- 4:32man
- 4:32that
- 4:32I
- 4:32needed
- 4:33him
- 4:33to
- 4:33be.
- 4:34I
- 4:34thought
- 4:34that
- 4:35love
- 4:35was
- 4:35something
- 4:35that
- 4:35you
- 4:35had
- 4:36to
- 4:36earn,
- 4:36something
- 4:37that
- 4:37you
- 4:37had
- 4:37to
- 4:37prove.
- 4:40But
- 4:40here's
- 4:40what
- 4:40I
- 4:40learned
- 4:41the
- 4:41hard
- 4:41way.
- 4:42Loving
- 4:42someone
- 4:43else
- 4:43harder
- 4:43does
- 4:44not
- 4:44fix
- 4:45anything.
- 4:46It
- 4:47taught
- 4:47me
- 4:47how
- 4:47much
- 4:48I
- 4:48was
- 4:49willing
- 4:49to
- 4:49abandon
- 4:50myself
- 4:50to
- 4:50keep
- 4:51someone.
- 4:52And
- 4:53when
- 4:53I
- 4:53truly
- 4:54learned
- 4:54to
- 4:54love
- 4:54myself,
- 4:55I
- 4:55learned
- 4:56how
- 4:56to
- 4:56set
- 4:56boundaries.
- 4:57And
- 4:58once
- 4:58I
- 4:58had
- 4:58boundaries,
- 4:59everything
- 4:59became
- 5:00clear.
- 5:01If
- 5:01a
- 5:02man
- 5:02couldn't
- 5:02treat
- 5:03me
- 5:03the
- 5:03way
- 5:03that
- 5:03I
- 5:04deserved,
- 5:04he
- 5:04could
- 5:05not
- 5:05be
- 5:05my
- 5:05man.
- 5:06Not
- 5:07because
- 5:07I
- 5:07love
- 5:07deeply,
- 5:08not
- 5:08because
- 5:08I'm
- 5:09cold
- 5:09or
- 5:09guarded,
- 5:10but
- 5:10because
- 5:10I
- 5:11refuse
- 5:11to
- 5:11make
- 5:11space
- 5:12for
- 5:12someone
- 5:12who
- 5:13only
- 5:13shows
- 5:13up
- 5:13halfway.
- 5:15And
- 5:15if
- 5:15someone
- 5:15can't
- 5:16treat
- 5:16you
- 5:16the
- 5:16way
- 5:16that
- 5:16you
- 5:17deserve,

- 5:18get
- 5:18access
- 5:18to
- 5:19you.
- 5:19Period.
- 5:22So
- 5:22you
