Okay, I need to just say this before it comes out in the form of a 17th-century sea shanty. I know you. I mean not you you. We ... Well, I know you now, but I mean before. In a different time, I met another you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't love rules, but I'm pretty sure you're about to break a big one.
The other you, He saw the real me. Beyond my name, beyond all that name stands for. He'd never even heard it before. And I liked it. I liked the way he looked at me. Because through his eyes, I could finally see the person I had the potential to be. And it was someone who wasn't burdened by tragedy and darkness. Someone who could find hope and live in that hope. Someone free. Free to feel and take chances and and make connections. But then, he was gone. And with him, that version of myself was gone, too. And that's ... That was what I wanted to say.
Am I anything like the other me?
No. And yes. I like how you look at me, too.
In what way?
Like you really see me.
