But... it's not about being apart. It's that, um. [He trails off, trying to figure out how to phrase it.] ...we both know what we both want, I think. And we both know that right now, even if we want it, you shouldn't. But that doesn't make me want it any less.
[He shakes his head again, looking away.] ...sorry, I'm not explaining it right.
