He could never be with her because he would become overprotective, which she didn't need.
He could never be with her because he would risk everything for her.
He could never be with her because they worked together.
He could never be with her because he was her commanding officer.
He could never be with her because she was way out of his league.
He could never be with her because she deserved better.
Jack O'Neill knew there were a thousand reasons why he could never be with Samantha Carter. There were a thousand reasons that she could never be his, but that didn't change how he felt. That didn't change why he loved her.
He loved her because she was spunky.
He loved her because she was a genius.
He loved her because she hated to admit it.
He loved her because he remembered the taste of her kiss.
He loved her because she was strong.
He loved her because the first time they met she suggested they arm wrestle.
He loved her because of the way she said "Sir" without meaning it.
He loved her because she blew up a sun.
He loved her because she was daring and adventurous.
He loved her because no one ever looked so hot in fatigues.
He loved her because she was beautiful.
He loved her because he could get lost in her beautiful blue eyes without trying.
He loved her because she wanted to do what was right.
He loved her because he knew she loved him back, even though she shouldn't.
While there were two thousand reasons for him to walk into her lab and sweep her off her feet, she deserved more. She deserved so much more than he could give her, and that was why he kept walking. He didn't need a thousand reasons why not. He just needed one:
He could never be with her because she was too good for him.
He loved her because she was too good for him.
