*The Return*

Girl this little game you play

You don't stop 'til you go too far

So what's a man like me to say

With a bullet laying in my heart?

Damn, love!

We go from so hot to so cold

What am I gonna do with all this?

Damn, love!

Is this shit insane or insane love?

I guess that's the way we play it!

It was a dismal night, as they stood in front of each other.

"I have one question. Answer it right and it's back to rockets and fireworks. I'll forget the last 145 years I've spent missing you. I'll forget how much I loved you. I'll forget everything and we can start over. This can be our defining moment. See, we have time. That's the beauty of eternity. I just need the truth just this once," he told her.

"Stop. I already know the question and its answer," she replied, before he could say more. "The truth is...I've never loved you."

She took his hands from her face and began to walk out. As she did, her words sunk in which were the worst words than she could've said to him, because he believed her words to be true. He had asked for the truth, after all.

* The Reckoning*

She loves me now

She loves me not

She loves me now

But only when I walk away!

She loves me now

She loves me not

She loves me now

But only when I walk away!

"You're gonna get yourself killed! The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid," she yelled after him, as he walked away.

He stopped and turned to look at her.

"I wouldn't have done it for you."

She watched, as he walked away.

*As I Lay Dying*

Now what's that baby, what you say?

'Cause you don't wanna light up this torch

I'll burn it down all the way

Burn it down 'til it ain't no more

Damn, love!

How did the sound get so amped up?

Turn off and silence this damn love!

Is this shit insane or insane love?

I guess that's the way we play it!
