9/20/02
Rafe: Alison, thank god.
Alison: Hi.
Rafe: When i found that trap, I thought something horrible had happened to you.
Alison: No. My -- my leg. It's -- it's ok, though. The bleeding -- it stopped, and it doesn't hurt as much as it did.
Rafe: How'd you get out of it?
Alison: I don't know. I don't know. I thought that i saw someone coming to help me, but i was so weak and I was so scared -- I don't know. I just sort of passed out. But then i woke up, and -- i don't know -- there was some food there, and i -- I was so hungry, so I ate a little bit. And I started walking, and I just sort of -- I came here. Our names -- you carved them again.
Rafe: Because I had to.
Alison: After all that's happened, why did you do that?
Rafe: Because i -- i love you.
Alison: What?
Rafe: I love you, alison.
Alison: What did you just say?
Rafe: That i love you. I do. I do. With all my heart.
Alison: Oh, my god, I thought you would never remember.
Rafe: No, no, no --
alison: I thought that it would never come back to you.
Rafe: No, that -- that's the thing. I don't -- i don't -- I still don't remember.
Alison: What?
Rafe: You know what? That doesn't matter. Because I don't love you for our past and all that. I -- I love you for now. I've fallen in love with you, alison.
Alison: Oh, my god.
Rafe: I know -- I'm sorry for everything that i put you through, all right? Can you forgive me? Can you --
Alison: Oh, god --
Rafe: It's ok. Please.
[Flashback]
Alison: What are you doing?
Rafe: You said you want to get married, right? Remember, I'm kind of new at this.
Alison: Ready? Set, go.
Rafe: Ok.
[Alison giggles]
rafe: Ah! I've never been happier than this moment. There is nothing in heaven and earth just so glorious. I mean, we're getting married. Right here, right now. We're doing it.
Alison: Ah!
[Alison laughs]
rafe: I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life. I promise that we will be joined together as one for now and into eternity.
Alison: And I promise you, rafe kovich, to carry your love with me forever. My heart and soul now belongs to you, from now and through eternity.
[End Flashback]
Alison: What's the matter? What is it?
Rafe: I remember.
Alison: What do you remember? Do you remember us? Do you remember us being together? What do you remember?
Rafe: I was just -- everything! All of it! It's all come back to me. I remember you. I remember me. I remember us -- us together -- before -- before. I -- I remember everything.
Rafe: I remember!
Alison: You came back to me. You came back.
Rafe: I'm trying to think of all the things that i did to you. I have pushed you away. I believed everything livvie said, and --
alison: No. No, no, no. It wasn't your fault. Listen to me. No, don'T. It wasn't your fault. You didn't have your memory. Ok, livvie -- she fed you all of the stories --
rafe: I'm sorry. I almost let her push me away. I don't know why i did that. I --
alison: It doesn't -- it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All that matters is this moment, ok? I have waited so long for this moment. Nothing she does ever again or that she has done matters. It'll never come between us, ok? I just want to think about this moment. I just want to think about you. Ok?
Rafe: About us.
Alison: Yeah. Yeah.
Rafe: Do you know what it feels like to be this close to you again? To feel my lips against yours?
Alison: I almost -- I almost gave up. I did. Because I was scared. You know? But I didn't.
Rafe: I know.
Alison: I couldn't.
Rafe: I know you didn'T. I knew something happened to you because i know you never would have given up.
Alison: I'll never give up on you. Never again. I'll never let you go, ok?
Rafe: You're the only woman i ever loved. Just you.
Alison: When we said our vows here in our place, i didn't really know just how much that we would be tested. I promised to carry your love with me forever.
Rafe: Forever.
Alison: See, i feel like i was such a different person then and i was such a little girl because i didn't -- I didn't really understand what it was that we were actually saying and doing.
Rafe: And now?
Alison: And now I know what it means to really love someone when it seems like it's impossible. For better or for worse.
Rafe: In sickness and health.
Alison: Forever and forever. The love you carry inside you that one minute can rip you apart and the next minute can make your heart beat faster and faster.
Rafe: I feel so lucky just to be standing with you here right now and to have nothing but -- but love in your eyes coming towards me after everything that I did.
Alison: No, rafe -- no --
rafe: You know what? Loving you is like breathing. And just as much as air or water, you give me life.
Alison: Oh, rafe.
Rafe: It's the purest, most holy thing that god ever created, that ever happened to me ever. And I love you. I love you. I love you so much.
Alison: Well, now, if you would like to, you may kiss your bride.
Rafe: My wife. My alison.
