... Look, I already know what you're going to say, but I want to hear you say it. And I want to know why you... lied about what you did in the first place. You were the one who said you wanted to come over to...
Look. I like people, you know that. I like people a lot and I do love you. It's just...I just can't stay. It really doesn't matter who it is, I try but...
It's really nice and then it just gets...I don't know how to explain it.
I did want to...then you started the stuff with the nightmare. It just seemed like too much to work to sort that out. You were getting angry so I thought it would be best if I just...y'know.
Then this. And now if I say anything you'll just think I'm lying.
Forget about the nightmare. Just... forget about it.
... I wasn't asking you to stay forever, literally. I never said that I never wanted you to physically leave my side. I didn't... look, it's not like you've never "left" before. We've been friends since we were six, and there have been innumerable times when one of us has gone away for days, weeks, or longer. That has never been a problem. You having boyfriends has never been a problem, no matter how many times you claim I've been "jealous". You were interpreting my actions incorrectly.
Ty Lee, think about this. You're dealing with me. If I had had serious issues with your boyfriend, it would have been a bit more apparent. Even Mai took action when she didn't like your choice of friends- imagine what I would have done.
... But I didn't. And I won't. Because, as ridiculous and irrational as it is, I don't like to see you sad.
...
...
I am so glad that I won't remember admitting to any of this.
All I'm trying to say is that the only time that I could have been called "jealous" was when your idiot boyfriend came back after having been gone for a while, and you dropped your best friend for him. As if you couldn't have both.
...I'm not regretting what we did. It's just...it's just...I really can't see myself attatched to anyone for long periods of time. I can't hold a boyfriend more than a few months. I stay for a while, I break up and leave, then I come back. It's just...me.
... But I'm not a boyfriend, Ty Lee, and you never saw fit to leave forever before. Why now?
It seems ironic that you'd be the one not to believe in real love, actually. You're just so irritatingly cheerful and constantly upbeat, one would think that the idea of love would be... appealing to you. I, on the other hand, do believe in it- I just manipulate it to my advantage, the way I did with Mai and Zuko. I've never really had any use for it for myself- it's just seems so messy, and annoying, and pointless. Only with you, it... really wasn't. That was sort of an exception, I suppose.
Those things were weak. I shouldn't have admitted them; shouldn't have felt them. ... You were right to discourage me in that regard.
... I still don't understand what the difference is. 'True' indicates 'real'; therefore, by saying that true love doesn't exist, are you saying that real love doesn't exist?
I'm not the one who named it. Geeze. I believe in love. I don't believe in my "one true love" who doesn't know me yet but is going to come riding on a pure white ostrich-horse with a long flowing cape blowing in the wind. That's the difference.

But I hate exceptions. Especially this kind, now.

I believe in love, Azula, just not the one true love bit. That's just so...I don't know.
...I'm sorry.

What's the difference between true love and regular love? Is one better than the other? I don't... there are different kinds?
no subject
...Regular love exists and true love doesn't. True love is that stuff that all the fairy tales talk about.

no subject
... So you believe that a person can have more than one "love". Is that it?
no subject
Yes. That's what I believe.
