She's the kind of girl who likes having that kind of protectiveness from me. So it baffles me that suddenly, it's a bad thing that prevents her from being interested in me THAT way.

Nor was it ever something I had taken much interest in. Like, she's a great girl, and I like her, and I COULD see myself being interested in her. But I never had a desire to try and act on it. But she breaks up with her boyfriend, and says that, and now all I can think about is how I'm not good enough for her, and how I fucked up a chance to be with her that I didn't even think about taking in the first place. And so now, I kind of want to be with her, knowing that I can't.

So, fuck.
