Lisa Renee Jones Quote

This is who I am, Sara. I will protect you from everything and everyone else, but I can’t protect you from who I am or who we will be if you stay with me. I know who you are, I whisper, and I am more clear of mind than I have been in a very long time. I need him. I’ve needed him from the moment I first met him. Even then, that first night, I felt free to let go with him, to be me, when I didn’t even recognize me. But you need to know this, Chris. I know who I am now, too. I know what I need to stay with you. If you own my body, I own yours. I’ve walked away from too much to be willing to settle for less than everything now.
