That's how it began. That's where it went wrong. I knew she could never be mine. But I sinned. I sinned.

There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. A heart so strong it will never slow. There is a promise so sure it can never lie. He promised me that love forever. Even when it wasn't enough.

Nate: It's nearly impossible to be surrounded by love but not understand it. My parents, my sister, and just about everyone around us has no trouble accepting that love.

Because for me, I've only loved someone I could never have, and my biggest fear is that by giving her my love, all I would do is ruin her.
