I want you to spend the night, you said. And it was definitely your phrasing that ensured it. If you had said, Let's have sex, or Let's go to my place, or even I really want you, I'm not sure we would have gone quite as far as we did.

He has no idea how beautiful the ordinary becomes once it disappears.
David Levithan
There is the sudden. There is the eventual. And in between, there is the living.
David Levithan
I want to write my life. I want to be able to write my life. You are a second away from saying it. You have no idea how much I love you.
David Levithan
motif, n. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you.
David Levithan
There's no way for them to take away my sadness, but they can make sure I am not empty of all the other feelings.
