Talk:Love Like You (The Ocean Returns)/@comment-25830129-20150917043726

This screams to me "Rose Quartz" way more than it does Lapis.

We already know from "We Need To Talk" that Rose definitely had difficulty connecting in a romantic sense to Greg. At the very least she had difficulty expressing or feeling the human concept of love, although we're unsure if this is a Rose trait or that all gems don't exactly know the human concept of love (rather than the gem concept of love). Lyrically, I see it thusly:

"If I could begin to be, half of what you think of me" is an allusion to Steven himself and Rose wanting to become literally half of what Greg sees of her .. by allowing Steven to be half Rose, a gem, and half human.

"I could do anything, I could even learn how to love" is specifically talking about how she may learn the concept of "human love" by becoming half human.

"When I see the way you act, wondering if I'm coming back" is towards Greg. He knows what Rose Quartz is sacrificing to become half-human, half-gem but he doesn't know what that entails. No one does. Is Rose going to just become a half-human, half-gem version of Rose? Will she retain her memories, thoughts, and persona just like when a gem returns from it's hibernation period? Greg is just as anxious and worried and every other emotion because he has no idea if Rose is even going to be able to go through this process.

"I could do about anything, I could even learn how to love like you" is again towards Greg. And it can mean two things. Firstly, being that Greg's love for her is so great that it could somehow allow her to learn how to love like a human. Or secondly, it could mean that because of his love for her she would be able to do anything .. including something never done before, like becoming reborn as a gem/human hybrid.

Because of how much Greg loved Rose, she was able to do something nobody ever thought possible and became Steven. All so that Rose would be able to experience love just like he did.
