Those three words,
which carry so much weight,
tonight feel heavy,
for they were uttered,
against his will,
and in the morning,
shall be no more than,
a fleeting night’s fancy,
which he has forgotten,
in the sobriety of day,
while I’m left remembering,
that I should be,
careful what I wish for.
I like her because she smiles at me and means it. – Unknown
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell’s despair. – William Blake
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you’re alone with. – Wayne Dyer
She wasn’t doing a thing that I could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together. — J.D. Salinger, A Girl I Knew
I want to be
the one
you want in your
mind and your gut and
your bathroom
But I don’t want you
to fuck the whole
world to find out.
– Charles Bukowski
Let me be the source of your madness and you can be my enabler, and together we’ll become free. – Unknown

Maybe this person just doesn’t get it? Or just doesn’t want to be burdened with the responsibility of love?
I think this person was just nervous about starting over.
