This is the only Matt I will ever fawn over (irl or not). I think this was a bit longer than I would have hoped especially compared to Next of Kin.

"maybe, as scary as it is, time running out is a gift. if we were infinite beings, i wouldn't worry about holding you like this every second i could. i'd know i'd get to do it again. this love i have for you is urgent. it's a needy thing. maybe it wouldn't be if we had eternity. i'd get lazy with it."
