Key wants to confess, but can’t. The fact that the rest of SHINee won’t stop interfering in matters really doesn’t help. At all.

agapic. manic.

Agapic love is to unconditionally love, forgive, care for and sacrifice for the other person. Agapic lovers believe that true love is not to receive but to give; therefore, they willingly give up their own dreams in order for the other person to achieve her/his goals in life, because agapic lovers value their partner's happiness over their own. Furthermore, agapic lovers will move out of the way, even though they are very much in love, if the other person professes to love someone else.

When agapic lovers' partner causes them pain and suffering, they easily dismiss it as a mere misunderstanding or an innocent mistake. Agapic lovers are dependent upon how much they are needed by their partner; thus, agapic love comes to an end only when s/he no longer needs them.

Manic lovers generally claim to have had an unhappy childhood, and are plagued by loneliness even after they reach maturity. They feel the strongest urge "to love," yet are afraid to fall in love because they believe love is hard, difficult, and painful. Manic lovers are not entirely sure what type of partners they are attracted to, and end up falling in love with someone completely unlikely--and are often amazed by it. Sex and physical intimacy are central to manic love.

Manic lovers too often appear to lose perspective, and carry out extreme acts in order to prove their love. They oscillate between the two extremes of expressing and (often unsuccessfully) suppressing/controlling their love. Manic lovers demand more attention and more devotion from their partner, and more often than not, s/he ends the relationship. It takes a very long time for manic lovers to get over this.

Insert 'I' in place of 'They'; 'me' for 'them'; 'mine' for 'their'; and so on and so forth. If a person can be both agapic and manic, it is me. (and how long till I mend my broken wings?)
