“No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.”

“And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived.”

“I’ll miss you. No matter how short a time you’re gone.”

“Yeah, I’ll always be your friend. No matter what you love.”
