With you sitting across from me, we could handle anything in the universe.

And now that you're--I can't say gone, I won't say gone--suddenly I'm drowning. I can't breathe because you are my air. You made me want to live again during that first trip to Abydos. The year you were ascended, I merely existed.

Now, I'm the linchpin that everyone is focused upon (hell, even Carter. When did she become another problem instead of part of a solution?)

Without you sitting across from me, I'm a house of cards in a coming gale. You must come back.
