Would you feel pity for yourself? Would you think about your family and your childhood and your dreams and all you're leaving behind? Would it hurt? Would it feel like dying? Would you cry, as I did?

I keep remembering us and how it was. I don't want to hurt you ... not ever.

Insecurity is the result of trying to be secure.
