Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.

dissonance, n. Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk to you and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't here it.
David Levithan

David Levithan

David Levithan
The way you're singing in your sleep The way you look before you leap The strange illusions that you keep You don't know But I'm noticing The way your touch turns into arcs The way you slide into the dark The beating of my open heart You don't know But I'm noticing
David Levithan
I barely notice colors unless I taste them. Not the yellows or the greens. I taste the deeper blues. The darker reds.
David Levithan
Pride is allowed to have an element of worry, especially when you are a mother.
David Levithan
I had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.
David Levithan
The tenderness between two people can turn the air tender, the room tender, time itself tender. As I step out of bed and slip on an oversize shirt, everything around me feels like it's the temperature of happiness.
David Levithan
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.
David Levithan
It's the way you say thank you like you're genuinely thankful. I have never met anyone else who does that on a regular basis.
