I think you still love me, but we canβt escape the fact that Iβm not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So Iβm not blaming you for falling in love with another woman.

I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong. - Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun
