You are my projection of her

me
in the end, I realized that she did not show me any kindness that she would not have shown anyone else. But for some time, I felt as though I knew her from a previous life, where she loved me but I did not love her back. And then there she was, again in my path, making me question what choice I would make in this life.

the pain was too much to bear.

And then you chose to do the easiest thing possible.

Was it? I made a choice. I knew failure was possible, even likely. But I chose to act. I knew my feelings were real, because they hurt.

V
-Your- feelings were real.

me
have you loved no one? Lost no one? If you had the chance to make things right, would you not do the same?

Do you remember the ending of Inception? Where his wife asked, "Don't you want to stay here with me? In this world?" And he said: You are not real. You are the best part of her, the worst part of her, but not the complex part of her. You are my projection of her.
