You don't really love me, or you never would have treated me like you did. You were just afraid of letting me go. There’s a difference, and no one knows that better than I do. We were both afraid of moving on, me of what I really wanted. It brought us together, it bound us, but no longer. I am done with making decisions based on fear. [Nicholas to Grace] Emily Colin
About This Quote

You don't really love me, or you never would have treated me like you did. You were just afraid of letting me go. There is a difference, and no one knows that better than I do. We were both afraid of moving on, me of what I really wanted, and you of what you thought you knew I wanted.

It brought us together, it bound us, but no longer. I am done with making decisions based on fear.
