" Irina, I realized something important during the time without you. Whatever hope I had, whatever strength I was able to summon up I got from you, from your love, which, in spite of our being apart, I felt every moment of every day. But I also knew that without getting you back, without having you by my side, my life would be unbearable. I might be alive but my life wouldn't be worth living without you. It was the memory of your goodness and your love that kept me going. From this day forward I dedicate my life to loving and protecting you. Forever."
" We've been apart too long. Separated both physically and emotionally. The physical separation was my fault and out of our control really. The emotional was because of the lack of trust and terrible secrets we kept from one another. My pledge and my solemn promise to you are never to keep anything from you again. To be honest with you always even if it may be painful. Without truth, love and trust can never grow. I love you, Jack. And I'll never do anything to betray your trust to risk losing you again."
Warning! I'm doing a little more literary write. I'm a democrat so I'm changing the president to Jed Barlet from the West Wing.
