Italics and Bold:Percy and Annabeth

Heart beats fast

My heart was thumping so fast.

My heart was beating as fast as Arion.

Colors and promises

Orange and Purple. The promise to never let these colors meet was now broken.

How to be brave

"I need to stay strong."

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

"What if he thought I was an illusion? What if he has another girlfriend?"

"What if she's moved on?"

But watching you stand alone

I looked over to him, standing alone, in front of the other Praetor and the Romans.

I looked over to her, standing alone on the walkway of the Argo Two.

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

I needed to get to him, no matter what.

I needed to get to her, no matter what.

One step closer

I started walking.

I have died everyday waiting for you

Those agonizing days without him were over.

I had finally found her.

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

I still love you, Percy.

She needs to know I never forgot her.

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

Beauty in all she is

Annabeth was beautiful, as always.

I will be brave

No matter what happens, I will be strong.

I will not let anything take away

What's standing in front of me

I will not let anyone, not even the gods, take him again.

Watch out, Giants. You can't take her. I won't let you.

Every breath

Every hour has come to this

Every hour building and planning had led to this moment.

Every hour spent on quests was for this.

One step closer

I walked faster.

I have died everyday waiting for you

Gods, I missed you.

I'm so glad you're here.

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I never stopped loving you.

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

I never believed you were dead.

I knew you were out there- somewhere.

Time has brought your heart to me

There is no more waiting for this moment.

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

I moved even faster.

One step closer

I started to run.

I have died everyday waiting for you

I ran into his arms.

I hugged her to me.

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

"Do you...?"

"I never forgot you."

For a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

"I never stopped looking."

"I know."

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

"I love you"

I'll love you for a thousand more

I kissed him.

I kissed her.

For the moment, everything was right in the world.
