David Levithan
I suspected that what happens in hotel rooms rarely lasts outside of them. I suspected that when something was a beginning and an ending at the same time, that meant it could only exist in the present.
David Levithan
I am stronger than words and I am bigger than the box I'm in, and then I see her in the crowd and I fall apart.
