The updated version of "it's better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all" or however that old timey quote actually goes. The first time I heard it in the movie Shelter, it was the one thing that spoke to me more than anything else in the story. Out of context, it seems more like a threat than a promise, but within the dialogue, Tori explains to Zach the reason he should go after the one he loves, that this is the only time you get, and you should be happy while you still have the chance.
When Brandon finally made me his girlfriend, I let him take a sharpie to the tattoo on my ribs and... edit it slightly. Works for me.
