“I'm being sent back to my time, but - I love you, Philip. At any age, in any body, in any era... I love you.”

“Sixteen long years of unbearable waiting. I can’t do it anymore. She was supposed to return—she always did—and now I see the cruelty in this helpless waiting, living at the mercy of Time. Dragging through the days, I ask myself why I bother when I know that the one place I can find her isn’t here on earth. That’s it—that’s enough of this—I’m done.”

“Catch my eye,tell me what you seeWonder if they could guess it about meHere i'm standing in a double lifeOne with love,one with strifeTry to act normal,and play it coolSo afraid of breaking a ruleBut now i'm falling to hard to stopCan't help but take the next drop”

“Bad things happen to everyone, but when they do, you can't just fall apart and die. You have to fight back.”
