I have learned how to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present, because that is where I am destined to live.
David Levithan
Told her she was beautiful. Didn't give up when she didn't believe me.
David Levithan
Every person is a possibility. The hopeless romantics feel it most acutely, but even for others, the only way to keep going is to see every person as a possibility.
David Levithan
If we actually thought about every decision we made, we'd be paralyzed ... You have to decide which decisions you're actually going to make, and then you have to let the rest of them go.
David Levithan

She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both.
David Levithan
I find my greatest strength in wanting to be strong. I find my greatest bravery in deciding to be brave. I don't know if I've ever realized it before,[...] I think we both realize it now. If there's no feeling of fear, then there's no need for courage.
David Levithan
And I'm moved, it's so beautiful. Not what I wrote, but to have it given back like this. To have her remember the words and the tune. To hear it in her voice.
David Levithan
I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation
David Levithan
People say that time slips through our fingers like sand. What they don't acknowledge is that some of the sand sticks to the skin. These are memories that will remain, memories of the time when there was still time left.
David Levithan
But I guess you don't see the planets when you're staring at the sun. You just get blinded.
David Levithan
I can't pretend to know what love is. It just is.
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
For I have never wanted a lover, but I have always wanted to love, and to be loved.
David Levithan
When someone breaks up with you, their beauty-- which you took such satisfaction in-- suddenly becomes unfair.
David Levithan
Once time is lit, it will burn whether or not you're breathing it in. Even after smoke becomes air, there is the memory of smoke. I am seeing as if by the light of a match, a glimpse of my life and having it feel right.
David Levithan
...and suddenly you started singing out your love for me. My name and everything, loud enough to reach the top floors of all the buildings. I should have told you to stop, but I didn’t want you to stop. I didn’t mind if your love for me woke people up. I didn’t mind if it somehow sneaked into their sleep.
David Levithan
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.
