Billy... We've been together for more than two years now. And I know that's not so long to some people, but to a couple of teenagers who risk their lives to be heroes, and live here knowing we could be sent to someone else's war any moment? Or forced to go through experiments that make us fall out of love, forget we ever had anything, or go crazy and try to hurt each other, only to get back together, remember everything, and still support and stick with each other no matter what happens? Two years isn't so long, but it's enough. It's enough to make me realize how much I want to be with you, just like this, for however long we both live. It's enough to make me see that you're... you're the love of my life. We could be together for two more years, five, or ten... but I like the sound of "forever".
