That’s the problem with sticking plasters. They might cover up the problem, but they don’t solve it. And when you peel them off, they f*****g hurt. It’s always much less painful in the long-run if you rip them off quickly. The pain will be sharper, more intense, but it won’t last anywhere near as long.
I’m only looking out for you. I only ever wanted you to be safe and happy — and mine. Nothing in life is ever simple. I accept that. I realise there are obstacles, things I need to remove before we can enjoy the life we were meant to.
This is the best thing for you, my butterfly. You know I only want the best for you, don’t you? It’ll hurt now, but it’ll be good for you in the end. This is a long game. It’s not about the here and now. Everything is a means to an end. And that end is us.
