..gotta let you know - you're never going to be alone from this moment on.
"She gave them everything. Every little piece of her, chipped and shredded until all of her energy, her beauty, her love - it all went into this. She didn't regret a moment of it. I always felt like all my gratitude wasn't enough. He used to tell me they used to be a team. She created him just like she created us. She built him up, made him into what he is today. She was a fighter. She never stopped. The endless energy was enough to tear down a grown man, but not her. She couldn't stop. It's not for lack of wanting to, I'm sure given a chance she would sail the seas, drink tea in England, wander the cobbled streets of Paris. She didn't though, she stayed with us and gave up her dreams to create a beautiful life in her image. No picture was prettier, no book was better written, just like us, we were perfect even when we weren't. 'Impossible standards and coffee', people used to tell me that's what she was made of but I knew better. She had her dreams, but she kept them as just that. Whenever she blinked she saw the Eiffel Tower, or Big Ben and that's what kept her going. One day we would create dreams of our own and she would take him, the man she built up to never let down, and she would show him her dreams. After all, he owed her. He owed her big time. She devoted her life to everything he could possibly want, why wouldn't he want to see her, in all her beauty and glory, marveling at the structures of life she loved so much. Her skin shimmering in the glow of the lights. It will be a sight to see. I'm sorry I'll miss it."
Exactly.
