“I have tried," I said, "but he does not believe me. It is too late for that now" (it is always too late for truth, I thought).”
“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”
“But it was too late now. A lifetime too late. A million wishes too late.”
“It's too late!" I cried"I thought that once, too. But it's never too late. You taught me that. Love can make us eternal.” Phoenix’s eyes closed, haunted to the end. “I'm sorry,” were his last words."I forgive you,” I sobbed, gripping onto him desperately. “I forgive you.”It was too late.All. Too. Late.”
