"you would pretend that you are better than i,
but you are not.
you are no freer of guilt,
no nobler of purpose,
no higher of mind.
you are a monster; you are as cold and dark as i.
if you think otherwise, you are a fool.
the difference between us
is not that i think i am better than you.
the difference is that i recognize what i am,
and i understand how terrible that is.
you would go on as you are and not regret it.
even if i am able to change myself,
i will look back at what i was and regret it always."

hmm.. yea, i read this on your friendster too, and i thought i read it somewhere.
naka-relate ka ba? kasi parang it's the same thing that he "might" say to me, to which i'd like to deny the accusation.
i neither believe nor pretend i'm any better than anyone.. and when i say "andito ako," it doesn't automatically mean to control or impose on you things you don't want. and it's absolutely by no means of disrespect.
in contrary, i respect our differences and your uniqueness no matter how very unpredictable and detestable you are sometimes. in spite and even because of that, of how you are, i love you.
and i don't even asked to be loved in return, just that you LET me love you. was that too difficult to accept?
that sounds so... you! hehe:)
