If roses are meant to be red and violets to be blue

My hands are longing to touch you, I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt right in front of me.

17. Because she didn’t want to be in his way.

Their Story ~ So Far
"Are you still the same guy you were when I took this photo?"
“What? You took that photo? You weren't even at that show.”
“Oh, excuse me. If I remember the first song was about me, the
second one was about your motorcycle, and then there was the one
about that surf town, what was it?”
“Saya Lida.”

The Beginning
Lily was a groupie from the Upper East Side and Rufus was the guy who was almost famous. There were so many things that should have kept them apart, but they met and then something extraordinary happened- they fell in love. He was the great love of her life and she was everything to him. There was nothing predictable about them, nothing anyone could really understand but they were extraordinary together.

“You know, I even remember the black dress I wore that night.”
“Really? “Yeah.”
“You know, I think it might actually have been blue.”
“I thought you said you didn't remember me being there?”

Getting Lost
But then it all fell apart. Lily's mother blackmailed her into leaving him, Rufus thought she left him for someone else and before they knew it, everything they'd loved was gone. Rufus got married and had kids. Lily had a string of marriages, two children, and the financial security her mother had blackmailed her with. In spite of everything, they always knew that something was missing.

Fate Intervenes
Rufus's son met Lily's daughter and things started to look up for them again. Dan and Serena didn't know anything about their parent's shared past but their romance brought them back together.

“Well, our kids were bound to meet, it's a small island.”
“Are you sure it's not some ploy? Using my daughter to get back to me now that your wife left you?”

They'd been separated for so long but now, they had a reason to come back together. But it didn't all happen at once. Rufus's marriage was coming undone and Lily was involved in a relationship with Bart Bass so first, they had to become friends again.

"Thanks for babysitting me. And thanks for being such a great friend.”
“Yeah, it was almost fun.”

Rufus and Lily spent more and more time together and began to remember all the things that had made them so happy when they were younger. There was Elanor Waldorf's party, when Rufus kissed Lily to help her make Bart jealous and Thanksgiving when they acknowledged that they're feelings were far past being simply “old friends”.
And then there was the débutante ball, when Rufus and Lily realized all their regrets from the past and found themselves falling in love all over again.

"If I had known you hadn't actually left me for...for him I...I mean maybe."
"Listen don't...don't say it. Don't even think it."
"I can't help myself. I never should have let you let me go."

At Christmas Rufus told Lily he missed her, Bart proposed and Lily decided to accept. But when she saw Rufus they wanted to try again. They were going to go away together and figure things out and they were scared together. Everything seemed like it was all going to work out. Then Serena begged her mom not go through with it, not to mess up her relationship with Dan by having one with Rufus, and Lily agreed. She wanted to do what was right for her children.
So she didn't go and somehow, Rufus understood.

“You packed light.”
“Please, try to understand”
“I think I do. I'm just sorry.”
“So am I.”

Even after they found everything had fallen apart all over again, Rufus and Lily were still there for each other. Rufus came to Lily for advice about Jenny and when Eric was outed, the first person Lily called was Rufus. Through it all, their friendship, and all the love and understanding that came with it, stayed firm.

“We make quite a team.”
“We always did.”

After that there was Lily's upcoming wedding, and all of the hopeful possibilities that came with it. The possibility that they might find each other this one last time and Lily wouldn't go through with it, or that Rufus would crash Lily's wedding and whisk her off so they could be happy together forever. We came close. Lily went to Rufus's concert and there was a moment when he was singing when you could just see everything falling into place for them. They shared a kiss and spent the night together and the next day was Lily's wedding. Rufus showed up at the last minute. He offered to send everyone home, to call it all off for her and Lily made her choice. She chose Bart and she got married and even though it meant leaving Rufus, it was incredible because something truly amazing happened- he let her go.

“Here we go. Are you sure about this?”
“Ask me again and I'll change my mind.”
“I love you Lily.”
“I love you too Rufus.”
“Then have a great wedding.”

The Future
We don't know what the future holds for Rufus and Lily. We don't know if Rufus will find a new love interest, if Lily and Bart will be happy, or if they'll both be miserable. We just know that this isn't the end.
Because twenty years doesn't just mean something, it means everything.

I can see the pain living in your eyes
You deserve to have so much more

I can feel your heart and I sympathize
I'll never critize all you've ever meant to my life

Well removing Nostalgia would be the same as removing Evermore, Serendipity, Envy etc.. & last episode they were nostalgic while in bed
