I've been thinking about something I was once told Love. "No greater love hath a man than he lay down his life for his friend. Not for millions, not for glory, not for fame... for one person. In the dark. Where no one will ever know or see." But it's not true. It's easy to die for someone you love. You just let go and it's done. To truely love someone is to live for them when the whole rest of the fucking world wants you to just lay down and die. So you fight damnit. Fight with all you've got. Prove to me those words of love you've spent twenty years professing. Don't you dare give up. Not now. Not when we're so damn close to happily ever after at last. Not when there's a house and a sixteeen year old boy waiting for a family. I need you, and if you love me you'll do the hard thing, you'll stay and let me love you. And bugger the rest of the world. It took your near death for them to grant us peace, but we've won it. And if you can get through the soul deep sickeness of returning through that bloody veil we can enjoy it so stay with us. Stay with me.
