Dirty Little Secret
I only do it because I don't think I could survive without it. Well, that among other reasons. I don't know why you continue to do it. It isn't as if you love me. It isn't as if you're as... fragile as me. It's not like you're going to fall apart if you give it up.
So why do you bother? Why do you bother yourself with me? Are you protecting me? Do you know about how... breakable I am? Do you think I'll fall apart without you? I do. It's extremely probable.
I don't want you staying with me because of that. I survive with you, but I'd survive better with you if you felt the same way about me. It's not like you have anything better to do though, is it? I'm the last thing you have left to do; in both senses.
AN: and funnily enough, this isn't a fic about an affair. Anyone want to talk to me? Feeling slightly lonely today. R&R
