More quotes by David Levithan
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.
David Levithan
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.

We'd said we'd keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep as soon as it's gone, it's gone. We should have said we'd keep in words, because they are all we can string between us--words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.

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.
David Levithan
I wake up feverish, sore, uncomfortable. Is it sickness or is it heartbreak? I can't tell. The thermometer says I'm normal, but I'm clearly not.
David Levithan
why won't they leave me alone? don't they realize I have a tinder heart and a paper body and that any spark will turn me straight to ash?

David Levithan
having someone think of me that way was like discovering a new window in the room i'd lived in all my life.
David Levithan
She stays in the same spot, anchored by the profound, desperate loneliness of a bad relationship.
David Levithan
I think they have compatible silences.
David Levithan
You can't know what it is like for us now--you will always be one step behind. Be thankful for that. You can't know what it was like for us then--you will always be one step ahead. Be thankful for that, too.
David Levithan
So what do you have to confess now? I don't know why I'm saying any of this, except that is the truth. I'm confessing that I don't know if I'm ready for this. What is 'this'? Being open. Being hurt. Liking. Not being liked. Seeing the flicker on. Seeing the flicker off. Leaping. Falling. Crashing.
David Levithan
Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
David Levithan
Jesus died for our sins, Noah says solemnly. What?!? I reply, choking back my thoughts. I was just seeing if you were listening.
David Levithan
I would always wait to take you home.
David Levithan
The words that matter always stay.

Sometimes when you hit send, you can imagine the message going straight into the person's heart. But other times, like this time, it feels like the words are merely falling into a well.
