"Si supiera que estos son los últimos minutos que te veo, diría te quiero y no asumiría tontamente que ya lo sabes. Siempre hay un mañana y la vida nos da otra oportunidad para hacer las cosas bien, pero por si me equivoco y hoy es todo lo que nos queda, me gustaría decirte cuanto te quiero, Que nunca te olvidaré," -Gabriel Garcia Marquez
