“I’m a total wreck, but I want to hold you. I…I’ve got nothing good going for me, but I still dare to love you. I can’t help it. There’s no cure. I’m covered in dirt and grime, but I still love the snow in the sky. It’s my fault, not yours… I’m sorry… I’m so inferior, but I love you… Loving you hurts so bad. Xie Qingcheng, it hurts. I know I can’t have you, that I have to let go, but I still love you, each and every day.”
