Just say your goodbyes.

We are running out of time.

So why do you linger?

When I do leave, I'll be quicker.

I don't force you to stay.

We're doing this my way.
Kiss me goodnight.

Promise to leave and I might.

Do you want me to go?

Why ask if you know?

I want your confession.

What is the obsession?
I want yours too.

Yes, I love you.

You said that with ease.

Just tell me, please.

I don't know what love is.

Why must you deny this?

Can you please just go?

Will you be mad if I say no?

Do you enjoy making me mad?

My temper is just as bad.

You will argue this to death.

Baby, you ain't seen nothing yet.
You know that I love you right?

You tell me almost every night.

Yet you never say it back.

Because I never want to talk.

You're talking to me right now.

You can love, I don't know how.

You have loved me all along.

What if I wake and find you gone?
I'll cry and weep, my heart will break.

That is love make no mistake.

How did I know yours is true?
How do I know if I really love you?

Tell the truth and trust your heart.

I hate whenever we're apart.

If we are being truthful, I'll ask one more time.

You want to know what's on my mind.

Do you love me?

Yes . . . do you-

Love you?
What kind of question is that?
