So what? I already know everything about you that's important to know.

I know how strong you are. I know how much you care. I know how loyal you are to your people. I know about your taste in crushes, which is terrible by the way, and how you're protective and how you work so hard at what matters to you and how much you try your best. I know your favorite food. I know some of the stuff you've stolen. I know you deserve way more than you get. I know how far you're willing to go for me. I know how much I love you.

Who cares about a name?
