Dawson's Creek 9...

We can't talk like we used to, there's just some things we cant say

so you love me.. you just don't want me?

I’ll wait. You can call me an eternal optimist, but I have faith. This whole year, I’ve been on this... Soul-searching journey... And I feel like I’ve finally come to the end. And what I found... Was you

See, there this guy... And when I met him, it was like... Like a shade going up in a dark room and light suddenly pouring in. He understood me in a way that no one ever did or could. And then, just as suddenly, the room got dark again

Dawson: Joey, if things are complicated between us, it's because you made them that way, all right? You. And you think that... Whatever was wrong when you were with me is gonna magically get better when you're with him?
Joey: I don't know, Dawson. I don't know, ok? I just know that I-- I need him.
Dawson: You need him like you need me? it's a simple question. Do you need him like you need me?
Joey: No. Look, you can't do that. You can’t. Those 2 things have nothing to do with each other, and you know that. The way that I feel about him is completely separate from the way that I feel about you and our friendship.
Dawson: we don't have a friendship right now. As of right now, we do not have a friendship.
Joey: That is not fair!
Dawson: You can't have both of us! You can't have him as your boyfriend and me as your consolation prize. You're gonna have to make a choice, and I'll tell you right now, if you choose him, I'm not gonna be around to pick up the pieces when it all falls apart. This ruins everything. There's no goin' back

Joey: That I would pick you? Say it, Dawson. You thought if you orchestrated this whole evening, that I would be convinced into picking you over Pacey, right?
Dawson: You have to pick somebody. I just wanted to remind you what you'd be missing if you didn't pick me. 'Cause you'd be missing a lot. So would I. We'd be missing everything. [he kisses her] That's how the evening was supposed to end.

Whether or not I can forgive you, is not going to be what keeps us apart. What you did... Our relationship was like this beautiful thing. And I don't think you ever realized how powerful it was. You changed my life, Andie. You were that person for me. You inspired me to be a man that I had only ever dreamed about being. When you first started to get sick... It dawned on me that I might not be that person for you. I can never go back to loving you the way I did, knowing that my love wasn't strong enough the first time around

you keep wearing your heart on your sleeve and you're gonna bleed to death

the heart is a fragile thing. break it too badly, and it might never recover

Well, I don't-- I don't want to fight either. I'm sorry. If we're gonna have an honest relationship, Dawson, then there's... Something you should know. I broke things off with Pacey, not entirely, but in large part because... I didn't want to lose you. I may have lived across the creek, but it was only when I was rowing in this direction that I actually felt like I was rowing home. You're so much of my life, Dawson. I mean... Your house is my house and your family is my family, and there's not a single significant event I’ve experienced that you haven't experienced with me, and I was so afraid of losing that. But...If that wasn't the choice... And if I thought that there was a chance that you would forgive me... I may have chosen differently. And you deserve to know that.

i mean, this isn't exactly the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do, Pacey-- telling Dawson that while he wasn't looking, I developed this bizarre gravitational pull towards his best friend, and I can't stop thinking about him or wanting to be near him or wanting to kiss him all the time

And I think that's what love really means... That you can forgive anything. So... To my parents... Who taught me that love does not conquer all... That love ends... And begins again.

You don't want me.. You said it yourself. You just don't want to lose me

Joey: So the friendship? You don't think we're friends anymore?
Dawson: I don't know. Are we more? Are we less? All I know is it's just not the way it used to be. Nothing is anymore.
Joey: It's called social evolution, Dawson. What's strong enough flourishes and what doesn't we look at behind glass cases in science museums.
Dawson: You and I? Are we museum bound?

Ever have one of those days you wish you could live all over again?

I need a friend. Someone who will be there for me without any agenda. The person that you used to be.

Pacey:It's over, isn't it?
Joey: It has to be.
Pacey: Maybe you should be the first one to go this time.

no one will love me or care about me the way you did and i think thats what scares me the most, that for so long, you were mine, my life, my everything, so now when i have to say goodbye, how do i not cry, hurt, and want you back?
