you know what tragically beautiful about ‘when I drift off, I’ll dream about you. it’s always you.’ it’s that it is unrequited. not in a sense where love isn’t returned, but in a sense of this message is unlikely to get received, at least it’s what tony believes when he records the message. he’s not declaring his love for her, to let her know how much he loves her, he’s not expecting anything back, he’s simply saying it because it’s the truth, even when food and oxygen run out, she is all that fills his mind. ‘I don’t have anyone but you…’ ‘it’s you, it’s always been you…’ ‘it’s always you.’ Not me, but you. his love is about her, not him. it’s not a declaration of love, it’s a statement. it’s selfless, it’s pure, it’s unconditional and untainted by any desire, when I drift off, I’ll dream about you. it’s quiet, subtle, powerful and sincere, it’s what he thinks of as his last words, and yet undying.
