"I wanted you to choose me, always and without hesitation, Ama. Back then, I wanted to scream 'yes' and pour out all the pain I was holding back. Ama, I was tired of being your last priority."
"I'm so sor–"
"Don't, Ama. Please, don't. I never wanted to force myself on you. I held onto this fragile hope, with this belief deep within me, that I was special, that I mattered, that I was irreplaceable. I thought if I loved you enough, if I was patient enough, if I gave you all of me, you would eventually see it too. I kept telling myself that one day, you would finally realize that I was the one you couldn't live without, and you would choose me."
"You were, and still are, the most important person in my life, sweetheart."
