"I will wait for you," he whispered with his hands cupping my cheeks. "However long it takes. I'm in love with you."

"You can't love me. Everyone that loves me gets hurt," the tears are now pouring down my face. "I can't lose you too Matt." He wraps his arms around me, pulling me into a tight hug.

"You will never lose me baby. I promise," and with that; our lips meet.
