i knew from the moment i saw you that we would be grand. it took you 12 years to realize this. now we're happy. and of course, it's only temporary. why would the fates ever allow someone like me to be happy? was i selfish in a past life? am i paying for something that i don't know about? well fates, hate me today or hate me tomorrow. i'm going to love this man as much as i can while he's still here. and perhaps we won't last since you're pulling him away. but i can live happily knowing i experienced something so beautiful. the wait was worth it. you won't bring me down.
