"So why does your pride make you run and hide? Are you that afraid of me?"
"Baby why can't we just; just start over again... get it back to the way it was? If you give me a chance, I can love you right, but you're telling me it won't be enough."

"A soul mate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did. Or when no one else would. And no matter what happens you'll always love them. Nothing can ever change that."
"You, ah, you still have it. My chipped cup." (belle)
"Now you must leave." (mr. gold)

"Don't you see? That's exactly the reason I have to stay." (belle)

Yes, I know. Unhealthy obsession with this couple. I don't care. I'm... content with the outcome. Not really happy, but not unhappy. I like it. And yes, the quote is from Dawson's Creek. I've been analyzing quotes (mostly OTH/Dawson's Creek quotes) and I thought this one fit them pretty well. Anyway, the story is pretty self-explanatory. I hope you like it! (:
