This is a response fic to SiriusFan13's ficlet "It's All Been Done Before". Siriusfan13 recommended that I post this after I sent it in response, and I decided to take that advice. This makes much more sense if you go read that fic first. Enjoy and let us know what you think.
You think I don't understand. You think denying it will protect me.
I see that look you give me when you think I won't notice. I'm not quite as innocent as you think I am; Idealistic, maybe, but I prefer to think of it as hope.
I'm sorry, but I can't give up on you. I could give you a thousand reasons why, you're lost, you're lonely, and you need someone to teach you how to forgive yourself.
Or the simplest of reasons; I'm new to this, but I would give up anything to see a true smile in your eyes.
I love you.
That's why I will continue my advances, because you've never realized that you don't hurt the ones you love, you only hurt yourself.
