*Drops my arms and paces toward you, gripping your shoulders and holding you close to me*
I need you to have more confidence in yourself, love. And in me.
Sorry... I have complete confidence in you, though, you know that. It's just that I'm not... I'm not like I was when we got together, you know? It'd be reasonable to claim I'm a different person. I just wanted to make sure you know that if you ever come to that conclusion, I'll understand. But for now, I'll stop that thought process. I never want to really upset you, you know.
