you learn to live without

So brave, and bold, and strong, and stout

Sam continued to stay statue still as Remi spoke, the only indication he'd heard a slight setting of his jaw as his teeth snapped together, frustration tensing up his whole body. It was only when Remi stepped forward that he seemed to snap out of his stupor, speaking back with a furore that he'd only found within himself in the last year.

"So I come to try and help you, you try to kill me. I come and try to ignore you, you insult me for that. You want me to have gone looking for you, yet when I did just that you immediately began to yell at me." He threw his hands out in frustration, finding this anger and the words that went with it very easy indeed to toss out, as if it had been waiting in him the whole time.

"Have you ever thought, Remi, that you are exhausting to know? Your constant changes of mood, your ongoing need to be the hero then deny you ever wanted to be-- How I wish I didn't care." He sighed heavily, looked over the beach with his lips pressed tight together, speaking the next words quietly and almost to himself, laden with emotion: "I lost the memories but The Voice didn't take the love. I wish she had."

You learn somehow to like the dark, even love the doubt
