Everyone saw me fall at first sight for her and I will never deny that.
Just because this has happened does not mean that I will discount how I felt for her.
I will not make a run at play it off that it doesnt hurt.
I just cant wait and hold on to see if this is fake.
I allowed myself to be played, but I will not allow myself to be fooled by this.
But I cannot take a chance with my heart.
Theres no denying it, between castmates and producers that this was the real deal, he says.
I asked her a question, I said, Do you really love me?
and she said yes.
I really thought that she was reciprocating that and I thought that I can see it.
Sometimes your eyes tell yourself what the heart wants to hear.
Maybe thats what happened.
If this was proven fake, maybe I wasnt lying to myself.
She got my one and only engagement.
I owe this the respect that its due.
For now, he just wants to take care of himself and his broken heart.
And this right now is whats right for me.
I have to let this go.
Anyone that has love for me, I have love for them back, he says.
I appreciate that people want to see me find love.
I do appreciate that very much.
