I can t take the risk Those were the last words you told me the night you broke my heart. It seems ridiculous now to think someone could have broken the great Lin Bei Fong, doesn t it? Yet you did it years ago.
Do you still think of me the way I think of you? I can t help but remember the nights we used to share around the city, walking around empty streets without caring about anything but each other If you say you ve never looked back to those times I ll find it hard to believe. Twenty years can t simply vanish from your memory.
Tenzin, we were so happy together! We were so perfect for each other! We had so many plans and dreams and you shattered everything because of your insecurities. You always carried in your back a burden that you alone created. What if your children with Pema had been non-benders? What would you have done then? You kept saying it was all for the best, but you never even asked what I thought was best for me. Did you know I had always wanted children of my own? But you were the only father I pictured for them. I can t take the risk you said, and with that you walked away from my life.
Spirits, Tenzin! Tell me how to forget you! Tell me how to bury all those memories and feelings in the past just the way you did. I can t keep living like this! I can t stand seeing you so happy with her and the kids. I can t avoid realizing you look at her the way you used to look at me Yet I still look at you the way I used to.
Why, Tenzin!? Why do I still love you when you broke my heart? Tell me, will I ever stop loving you?
