Xena: Warrior Princess · Season 1, Episode 16

Marcus and Xena in “Mortal Beloved”

I want to be awake for every moment of life I have left to me. You know you don't realize the kinds of things you take for granted until you don't have them anymore. Like the evening air. It just settles on you like a cool blanket. And the sky. There's nothing like it on the other side. You know what I missed the most? (kisses her hand)

Ahh... Would that be me?

Yes, that would be you. There is something I wanted to say to you.... My death was not your fault. Things had to play out the way they did.

Sometimes, I think if I had said things a little differently, then maybe you'd have come around before it was too late.

No. Xena,it was a miracle you got to me at all.See, I was convinced I could never change. But your words finally found their way to my heart.You did everything right...Don't be so hard on yourself. And, don't give up on love...

You heard those thoughts, too?... It hurt too much I guess. I started wondering if it was ever worth it to care that much.

Oh, but it is. One thing that I've learned, is that love is the strongest power in the universe. Stronger than evil... it's even stonger than death. My feelings for you were the only thing that kept me going down there in Tartarus. It was like I was carrying my own Elysian fields around inside of me.

There is something I've been wanting to say to you, too.

What?

I love you. (they kiss)
