I remember the day you first proposed to me in SAO like it was yesterday.

So young, so in love. Nothing could stop us.

Look at us now

When we had taken Yui in as a daughter, it had seemed so REAL.

I swear she looked like you, but it might just be my imagination.

I can still remember how devastated she had been when I told her

When she had disappeared in SAO and all that was left of her was an item,

I clung to you like you were the only thing holding me together.

Even if i wanted to, I couldn't do that now

When I was trapped in ALO, constantly dreading when Sugou would return.

I was constantly anticipating for when you would come back.

I'm still waiting for you to come back, even though I know it's hopeless

And when I finally woke up in that hospital bed, saw you with my real eyes although they were blurry

I was so overcome with joy I cried.

I would do anything to see you again.
