Darling, Wait.
Monsters have hearts, too.
You always said they didn't, but they do. You found yours. I just haven't quite found mine yet.
I've looked at your back for too long, Darling. Please, wait for me.
These twenty-three years have been so very cold. I miss what I once was, but I also want to move forward. I want to move forward into you.
And I hope one day, I'm just like you, because I've been just like me for too long.
And I hope when that day comes, you haven't been broken by all the things I've done. I hope I can be a good past, so that you can be my future.
