When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. 
It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. 
I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. 
I’ve seen the best and the worst of you.
 And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.
 You’re a hell of a person.

--Joss Whedon
