Damon Salvatore: This is even more pitiful than I thought.
Elena Gilbert: There's still hope.
Damon Salvatore: I've made a lot of choices that have gotten me here. I deserve this. I deserve to die.
Elena Gilbert: [Elena moves to lay by Damon and hold his hand] No. You don't.
Damon Salvatore: I do, Elena. It's ok. 'Cause if I'd have chosen differently, I wouldn't have met you. I'm so sorry. I've done so many things to hurt you.
Elena Gilbert: It's ok. I forgive you.
Damon Salvatore: I know you love Stefan. And it will always be Stefan.
[Elena lays down on Damon]
Damon Salvatore: But I love you. You should know that.
Elena Gilbert: [Crying] I do.
Damon Salvatore: You should have met me in 1864. You would have liked me.
Elena Gilbert: I like you now. Just the way you are.
[She leans in and kisses Damon on the lips]
Damon Salvatore: Thank you.
Elena Gilbert: You're welcome.
