[ He stops dancing for a moment, stepping back and taking both of your hands in his.

Deep breath-! ]

You... you're the best thing to ever happen to me. I spent my life just thinking I was a nobody, that I was destined to be alone, and you... you changed all of that. You're the last person in the world I should have a chance with but... you make me feel wanted, and loved. I've never felt more like I'm worth anything to anyone than I do when I'm with you.

I'm not saying that what we have is perfect- we've had our share of fights. When it's bad, it's bad. But when it's good, it's as close to perfect as it can be. There's so much that's right about this, about you, that I won't let a few fights get in the way. I would give my life for you, and for what we have. You-- I love you, Sideswipe. More than anything. And I don't ever want to be without you.

[ he ducks his head, looking a little embarrassed ] Just... thought you should know.
