I just have to say something.
What I’m about to say is… probably the most selfish thing I’ve ever said in my life.
I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it.
I love you Elena.
And it’s because I love you that I can’t be selfish with you.
Why you can’t knew this?
I don’t deserve you. But my brother does. God, I wish you don’t have to forget this. But you do. I don’t mind being a bad guy. I’ll make all the life and death decisions while you’re busy worrying about collateral damage. I’ll even let her hate me for it. I’ll always choose you. ……[Damon to Elena]
