[image description: seven images that read and appear as follows.
1. “If you love me, Henry, you don’t love me in a way I understand.”
2. “I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to. I can’t love you how you want me to.”
3. an image of the salon d’hercule with torn edges, underneath it, text on lightly yellowed paper can be seen. on top of the image, there are separate words in capital letters with torn edges that read “always an angel, never a god”. the entire image is covered in small, yellow, reflective stars. in the corner, there is a label that reads “designed by @/cruellesummer”.
4. “I don’t know why I am the way I am, not strong enough to be your man, I tried, I can’t.”
5. “If you get to close and I’m not how you hoped, forgive my northern attitude. Oh, I was raised out in the cold.”
6. “Sorry, I don’t want your touch, it’s not that I don’t want you. Sorry, I can’t take your touch.”
7. “And no one can ever figure out what you want, and you won’t tell them, and you realize the one person in the world who loves you isn’t the one you thought it would be, and you don’t trust him to love you in a way you would enjoy.”
