There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.

Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.

Game over, you say, and I don't know which I take more exception to-- the fact that you say its over, or the fact that you say it's a game.

I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which I knew was not socially acceptable. I particularly loved the adjective bookish, which I found other people used about as often as ramrod or chum or teetotaler.

I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking, and then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are azure indigo cerulean cobalt periwinkle and suddenly the blue will not seem so dark, more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun.

I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way.

When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.

It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it’s lonely, because you feel you can’t talk about it.

Holden Caulfield is the embodiment of what we mean by the phrase “young adult” – too young to be a grown-up, but too wise to the world to be completely innocent. He’s caught in the in-between, and that in-between is what all young adult authors write about.

But I want to feel like life matters. I had something real with you, but then the realness scared me. I decided to go for other things instead.

Image
I don't want to fall. All I want to do is stand on solid ground.

Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?

Maybe there's a way to keep us in this moment. Not the sad part. But the coming together part.

I never know what you really want, if I can give it to you, or if I’m already too late.

It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.

You leave the phone on beside you as you fall asleep. I sit in my bed and listen to your breathing, until I know you are safe, until I know you no longer need me for the night.
