I just...have to say something.
Why do you have to say it with my necklace?
Because what I’m about to say is...probably the most selfish thing I’ve ever said in my life.
Damon, don’t go there...
I just have to say it once - you just need to hear it. (pause) I love you, Elena. And it’s because I love you that...I can’t be selfish with you. And why you can't know this. I don’t deserve you. But my brother does. (kisses her forehead; pulls back to look at her face) God, I wish you didn't have to forget this. But you do.
