Forever isn't long enough

You don't belong to her and she doesn't belong to you, but you're both part of each other; if she got up and left now and walked away and you never saw each other again for the rest of your lives, and you lived an ordinary waking life for another fifty years, even so on your deathbed you would still know she was part of you.

You have left your marks on each other, you have helped shape one another; you have each given the other an accent to their life which they will never quite lose; no matter.

- Iain Banks, The Bridge
