Why would you even try? There is no denying their fate. You might as well just leave them to me, Where they’re safe and protected, Where they’re who they are and who they can be. You might as well Just leave them to me, Where they have something they never had: A future. Where they have to go eventually.
I know. But I need them as much as they need me.
Love, it’s time and we both know it. The pain and the crying, All the stupid choices, All the desperation, Love, you have to accept it eventually. I know. But I’m what makes them human.
It’s obvious why you want to save them. I understand it, Love. You’re doing what you learned to do. But imagine: All your hard work, All the time and passion you put In saving them. It is all for nothing. Because in the end, You can’t save everyone from me. I’ll get them eventually.
I know.
