I was fortunate enough to have been loved once in my life, and... I want to be loved again.

[ he's a little hesitant to admit it, but anders has been so open that it doesn't occur to yves to shy away now. ]

Because I think... it can be very lonely without it. Or without anyone who would acknowledge your existence at all.

So even if true love never comes for me... I don't want anyone to feel like they cannot be loved, like I did.
