About This Quote

I would have had to love you since my parents did not love me, I would have had to love you because of my family, I would have had to love you because of my friends, I would have had to love you because of my co-workers, I would have had to love you because of the people at work I get along with, I would have had to love you because of my professors. It wouldn't be difficult for me to do so. But if Valentine had asked me up along with him, I probably wouldn't be able to do it. That's how it is in real life. There are many people in this world who won't be able to accept your feelings for them no matter how hard they try.
