Castle In The Sky
I like you.
I've always liked you, as any boy with shelteredness, trauma, responsibilities, freedom, likes any other boy who has none of those things.
(.All of those things)
I love you, even.
As any person who is me would love the person who is you.
Which is to say, I don't love you. I hate you.
I love the person you could be.
If only you had those things.
(.None of those things)
If there weren't all these problems.
But if there weren't problems, then who would I be looking at?
Who would you be?
I wouldn't like you.
