Help me . . .

Why can't I?

What is the matter with me?

I am asking you because . . . I need help. I know that you cannot answer me, but that does not matter.

I want to give her my heart, but I cannot. I do not know how.

I want to put everything behind me, except for her. I want things as they were before . . . like when you were here.

You, you successfully gave her everything. You were committed to life and to death with her. You stayed together through the darkest of times.

I long to do the same with - I hope - my wife.

I know that nothing will be as before for me personally, and to the world.

I want to protect her, even if I have to put aside our relationship. But, I am not the Avatar.

Help me, Aang.
