If only somehow you could have been mine,
what wouldn’t have happened in this world?
I’m everything you lost. You won’t forgive me.
My memory keeps getting in the way of your history.
There is nothing to forgive. You won’t forgive me.
I hid my pain even from myself; I revealed my pain only to myself.
There is everything to forgive. You can’t forgive me.
If only somehow you could have been mine,
what would not have been possible in the world?

DEAN WINCHESTER : HOW TO BECOME THE 21ST CENTURY MARLBORO MAN
Do you want to be become The Man? Do you dream of being the perfect Action Hero? That's easy enough, kid!
All you need is your Father's leather jacket, his vintage muscle car, and his cassette collection. And if that isn't enough, look no further than 80s action movies. Save the day, get the girl... yes, it's that easy! Just follow the script, and you'll be the perfect Red-blooded American Man.
"I love you so much. [...] I know I promised not to say that, but that's a promise I can't help breaking all the time."
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS, KURT VONNEGUT JR.
