God knows we all have to at least try to justify our behavior so we don't feel too guilty about it later.
Take solace in that, regardless of the fact that the love you had in your mind was lost, it was fairer than any, and you can take that with you forever.
We can create the world where we are with the ones we want to love so easily.
You mean to tell me you're mourning the loss of someone who never existed?
We all know so goddamn well what's best for other people that it seems unnecessary we get to know them before imposing our will on them.
