10 Years. I Still Remember.
Buffy: Where have you been?
Angel: I went to see the Oracles. I asked them to turn me back.
Buffy: What? - Why?
Angel: Because more then ever I know how much I love you.
Buffy: No. No, you didn't.
Angel: And if I stayed mortal one of us would wind up dead, maybe both of us. You heard what Mohra said.
Buffy: Mohra is dead. We killed him.
Angel: He said others would come.
Buffy: They always come. And they always will. But that's my problem now, not yours, remember?
Angel: No, I won't just stand by and let you fight, maybe die, alone.
Buffy: Then we fight together.
Angel: You saw what happened last night. If anything I'm a liability to you. You take chances to protect me, and that's not just bad for you, it's bad for the people we were meant to help.
Buffy: So what? You just took a whole 24 hours to weigh the ups and downs of being a regular Joe and decided it was more fun being a superhero?
Angel: You know that's not it. How can we be together if the cost is your life, or the lives of others? I know. I couldn't tell you. I wasn't sure - if I could do it if I woke up with you one more morning.
Buffy: I understand. - So, what happens now?'
Angel: The Oracles are giving us back the day, turning back time, so I can kill Mohra before his blood makes me mortal.
Buffy: When?
Angel: Another minute.
Buffy: A minute? No. No, it's not enough time!
Angel: We don't have a choice. It's done.
Buffy: How am I supposed to go on with my life knowing what we had? What we could have had?
Angel: You won't. No one will know but me.
Buffy: Everything we did.
Angel: It never happened.
Buffy: It did. It did. I know it did! I felt your heart beat.
Angel: Buffy...
Buffy: No! Oh God. It's not enough time.
Angel: Shh, please. Please.
Angel: Please, please.
Buffy: No. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. I'll never forget.
Pardon me being so sentimental. I can't believe it's been that long! Back then I was a highly emotional 13 year old teenager and this tragic couple and their creator messed with my head so much! This couple meant the world to me back then. Gah <333
Brb watching IWRY and sobbing. It's one of the few episodes that can still make me cry so freaking much.
