All We Can Do Is Keep Breathing

I think I may have watched this a couple million times, the Season 3’s finale of Grey’s Anatomy never fails to bring my emotions to a turmoil. Every single character has problems that I can almost sympathize with and put myself in their shoes. Their pain, the struggles, their hopes, the joy, it’s all putting a knot in my throat.

Nuff’ said, particularly, I’d like to put forth something so beautiful, that it makes me flinch in a good way…

“Cristina, I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there in sickness and in health. I could say till death do us part. But I won’t. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. And I do not stand here, on my wedding day, optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. And I know. I am a heart man. I take them apart. I put them back together. I hold them in my hands. I… am a heart man. So this, I am sure, you are my partner, my lover, my very best friend. My heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands. I promise you… me.”

-Preston Burke’s Wedding Vow to Cristina Yang:

This is heartfelt love. I just want to tear now.

[Update: An Oldie For my Lovey Mood]

Don’t Cry Joni

Jimmy please say you’ll wait for me
I’ll grow up some day you’ll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true

Joni was the girl who lived next door
I’ve known her I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
and this is what she had to say

Jimmy please say you’ll wait for me
I’ll grow up some day you’ll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true

Slowly I read her note once more
then I went over to the house next door
her tear drops fell like rain that day
when I told Joni what I had to say

Joni, Joni please don’t cry
you’ll forget me by and by
you’re just 15, I’m 22
and Joni I just can’t wait for you

Soon I left our little home town
got me a job and tried to settle down
but these words kept haunting my memory
the words that Joni said to me

Jimmy please say you’ll wait for me
I’ll grow up some day you’ll see
saving all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
how my heart was filled with her memory
and asked my Joni if she’d marry me

I ran all the way to the house next door
but things weren’t like they were before
my tear drops fell like rain that day
when I heard what Joni had to say

Jimmy, Jimmy please don’t cry
you’ll forget me by and by
it’s been 5 years since you’ve been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John.
