You said you couldn’t be with someone who didn’t believe in you. Well, I believed in you. I just didn’t believe in me. I love you… always.

What it means
Our interpretation.
Blane distinguishes trusting the other person from trusting himself. His admission recasts the apparent lack of support as a failure of his own confidence. The declaration of love follows that acknowledgement, but the words alone do not establish whether the relationship will recover.
