I'm going to let you say what you need to say and then I'd like you to leave
what's going on Henry a week ago we were happy and then you disappear without saying a word I think you at least owe me an explanation
I have done nothing but explain myself to you this past year I don't know what more you want me to say and I don't appreciate you barging in here in the middle of the night
Well I'm sorry I can't turn my feelings off as easily as you do
you honestly think this is easy for me
what else am I supposed to think you won't talk to me all I know is I'm the one here willing to fight for us
because it costs you nothing
I've been losing my mind this week because the man I love has vanished from my life without an explanation I flew across an ocean I I stormed a Castle to look you in the eye and tell you that I love you knowing that you wouldn't say it back so no Henry in fact this is costing me everything and if this is over I at least deserve to know why
oh for Christ's sake Alex but once I wish you could see me for who I am and not who you want me to be sometimes I don't think you know me at all I don't like you I can't afford to be Reckless I wasn't raised by a loving supportive family like you were I have centuries of History bearing down on my shoulders my life is the crown and yours is politics and I will not trade one prison for another I can love you and want you and still not want that life I'm allowed right and it doesn't make me a liar it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation and you don't get to come in here and call me a coward for it
i would never call you a coward henry, we can figure out a way to love each other on our own terms no one else's
that is simply not possible and you know it
fine I'll leave and you can live in your Tower and protect your heart for the rest of your life and nothing will ever happen to you but Henry nothing will ever happen to you so if you want me to go you have to tell me to leave
please don't make me
it is the only way you're getting rid of me I would never leave this room if I didn't think there was any hope of holding on to the happiness that I've found with you and if you think otherwise and you don't know me so tell me to go Henry and I promise I will walk out that door and trouble you no longer
wait
