Carmen: “I want you to leave me alone, but not ignore me. I want you to miss me when I go away to college, but not be sad. I want you to stay exactly the same, but not be lonely or alone. I want to do the leaving, and not have you ever leave me. Ann Brashares
About This Quote

Carmen wants to say that she is afraid of losing the man she loves. She doesn’t want him to be sad and lonely when she goes away to college. She wants him to be exactly the same and not be lonely and alone. She wants him to do the leaving and not have her ever leave.

The best way to say this is that Carmen wants her man to love her without regretting it when she goes away to college.
