to happiness? She just wants to be perfect to
someone who’s perfect to her. Someone

knows what happened to her to make her a
disaster? She wants more than heartache.
Someone can change her from this shallow,
disconnected creature. Hold her and love her
for her and himself. She has waited
so patiently for that love for so
long, and she is hoping you are the one
she is meant to be with. He

not deserve to have her, but she does
know that you are deserving. But
how can love be enough? Why are you drawn
to every mistake you’ve ever made? All for
