If things were different

If things were different, perhaps we could hug.

Kiss.

Love.

If there were no titans, no walls, no fighting.

No war, no hate, no laws.

Perhaps we could love.

I could love you, Levi.

I do love you, but love is more than a feeling.

It's a life-long commitment to someone. Committed to protecting, caring, giving to you.

Could we? Levi?

Are you listening?

Don't give me that look, Levi Ackerman..

I know you feel the same.

If things were different..

I could commit to you.

If war didn't hold our hearts so far from ourselves, I could put mine on a plate and offer it to you.

To you, I offer my heart.

To you, I offer my life.

I will hold this sword with my hand and fight for you. I will fight till death.

And then, death do us part.

Levi?

Don't cry. Hold your head up, have no regrets. Fight for me as I've fought for you. Be strong, my love, and live.

If things were different, and I were still with you..

I would hold your face and wipe your tears. I would take you in my arms and hold you tight. Whisper lovely things against your lips, make you feel safe.

Oh Levi.. If things were different..

We could live forever.

Someday I will carry you to heaven and lay you on your bed, and tell you..

You fought well, Love. Rest with me awhile.

We have fought well, Levi.

Let us live eternally.
