"I'd like you to take the time to learn the Babylon 5 mantra: Ivanova is always right. I will listen to Ivanova. I will not ignore Ivanova's recommendations. Ivanova is God. And if this ever happens again, Ivanova will personally rip your lungs out." - Susan Ivanova, Babylon 5

I hope you’ll forgive me as I hang on the edge
But how could I let you fall after making that pledge
To never leave you again, in body, heart or mind
If I have to watch you let go I’d rather be blind

So even if it means risking my own life
As long as we’re together, the world feels right
Because if I allow you to let go and save myself
Then nothing’s any better than if I’d plunged into hell

Inspired by Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase. Although I don't think it does these great characters justice.
