"Who do you take me for?"
"Someone to lean on forever."
"Why would say that?"
"My heart says that, that's why."
"That means nothing."
"You mean everything."
"Where do you stay?"
"A place where stars shine in the day."
"What if I left you there?"
"The stars would stop shining."
"What if I never came back?"
"I'd follow you to the edges of infinity."
"What if you couldn't?"
"My memories would die with me."
"Memories of who?"
"Just you."
"For now?"
"Forever."
