I hate that I can’t comfort her. I hate that she doesn’t braid her hair anymore. I hate that I did this. It’s my fault.
How cruel this life is, that I took the only thing I cared about away from myself.
“Surely, no one would mind if I shaved a few years off of my life.” I swallow the knot in my throat. I would.
I would do anything for her. Even if she never remembers my love for her.
“I betrayed the only person I ever loved, and I’ll never forgive myself for it.” He looks away as his voice breaks.
“You don’t remember me,” he murmurs. “But I can never forget you.” His mouth collides with mine before I can process his words.
“As mad as I am that you pushed me away, not very many people get to fall in love with the same crazy person twice.”
“There could be endless versions of you, and I’d love each one as fervently and entirely.”
“I love you. I love every wrong thing you’ve done, every right. We are far from perfect, Cam. Even though I’m still mad at you, I never want to take another breath without you near,” I murmur as he periodically steals kisses between words, only drawing the corners of my mouth up more and more with each one. “I will always choose you, Em. Over anything. I want to prove that to you. No matter what becomes of me and the monster they made me, I’ll only obey you.”
“I’d pursue you to no end. You are the only home I’ve ever truly known,” he murmurs against my lips. “And I’d fall in love with you over and over, should I forget. I would always find solace in your eyes. Love inside your heart.”

“I loved you completely. In a way we never got to fully explore together. You were the sunlight over a frozen lake. The whisper of happiness I got to know. I love you, Em… I love you.
