You look tired.
It's a hectic week.
You should take breaks, you do know how to take care of yourself right?
I do. How are you fine with all of this happening? This might be the only chance I get to see you and you're asking if I know how to take care of myself?
You're right.
Why are you- how are you being so empty? Why can't we just find a way on how to fix us? Can't we just think of a way to get to a universe where you and I are together and nothing ever comes between us.
My dear, it is not that I don't want to, it's because that I have been trying. I have been in all kinds of universes of us, the one that we had time, the one that we communicated, the one that nothing could ever go wrong, the one that we had planned to the very detail to keep "us" alive. But even if we have everything we wanted, we would still end up losing us.
So there's no future of us being together? So what is the point of us in the first place?
A lesson. We are both individually good, we both are able to love each other but it turns bad when we are together. And it's not that I hadn't tried to fix me up, but in every universe, we just happened to love each other from a distance. Even if we're married to other people, even when we live miles away from each other, the sense of care, the sense of love, worry, warmth, anger, anything, we still have for each other. Some people to us, is just a chapter, a small parch of paper, but you and I, we are each other's bookmarks. Even when the book is closed, the bookmark is still there.
Why? Why can't we? Just try this time?
Because, I decided to. You are too precious to be in a state of pain.
And why are you here? When you know for a fact that there's no us? The future is set isn't it?
Because out of every other universe that I had been in, you happened to be the one that questioned why can't we fix. And I think, this is the future we will be together.
