“I love you, Layla. This thing struggling to beat inside my chest when you’re not near, is yours. Whether you want it or not, and I don’t blame you if you never want to see me again … but I had to give you the time and space to achieve this incredible thing you’ve worked so hard for … and I had to come and tell you, had to see your beautiful green gaze fall on me at least one final time, and tell you that every night, these emerald eyes are all I see … all I will ever see will be you.”
