"I just wanna be a man who has been to a concert with a girl in a red dress. Just a few minutes more."



"Listen, I know this is not how you would have chosen it, but I can make you happy.

No, Clark. I get that this could be a good life. But it's not my life. It's not even close. You never saw me before. I loved my life. I really loved it. I can't be the kind of man who just accepts this.

You're not giving it a chance. You're not giving me a chance. I have become a whole new person these last six months because of you.

I know. And that's why I can't have you tied to me. I don't want you to miss all the things that someone else could give you. And selfishly, I don't want you to look at me one day and feel even the tiniest bit of regret or pity.

I would never think that!

You don't know that. I can't watch you wandering around the annex in your crazy dresses. Or see you naked and not... Not be able to do... Oh, God, Clark, if you had any idea what I wanna do to you right now. I can't live like this. Listen. This, tonight, being with you is the most wonderful thing you could have ever done for me. But I need it to end here. No more pain and exhaustion and waking up every morning already wishing it was over. It's not going to get better than this. The doctors know it and I know it. When we get back, I am going to Switzerland. So I'm asking you if you feel the things you say you feel, come with me.

I thought that I was changing your mind!

Nothing was ever going to change my mind.”



"Clark. A few weeks should have passed by the time you read this. If you follow the instructions, you'll be in Paris on one of those chairs that never sit quite level on a pavement. I hope it's still sunny. Across the bridge to your right, you'll see L'artisan Parfumeur. You should try the scent called Papiomextrem. I always did think it would smell great on you. There are few things I wanted to say and couldn't because you would've gotten emotional and you wouldn't have let me finish. So, here it is. When you get back home, Michael Lawler will give you access to a bank account that contains enough to give you a new beginning. Don't start panicking. It's not enough for you to sit around for the rest of your life but it should buy you your freedom, at least from that little town we both call home. Live boldly,Clark. Push yourself. Don't settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride. Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury, knowing I might have given them to you. This eased something for me. So, this is it. You are scored on my heart, Clark. You have been the first day you walked in with your sweet smile and your ridiculous clothes and your bad jokes and your complete inability to ever hide a single thing you felt. Don't think of me too often. I don't want you getting sad. Just live well. Just live. I'll be walking beside you every step of the way. Love, Will."You have been the first day you walked in with your sweet smile and your ridiculous clothes and your bad jokes and your complete inability to ever hide a single thing you felt.
