And I know you’re hell bent on denying it. But I want you to know, it doesn’t matter if you willingly invite me in or if I have to break down the walls you’ve built, I’m getting inside that heart of yours one way or another. I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to be right here. Waiting … waiting for you to be ready. Okay? "
