More quotes by David Levithan
Sometimes memory tricks you. Sometimes beauty is best when it's distant.
David Levithan
I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.
David Levithan
Maybe, it's not the distance that's the problem, but how you handle it.

Tell me a way you think this can work. We'll find a way, I tell her. That's not an answer. It's a hope. Hope's gotten us this far. Not answers.

only adj. thats the dilemma isn't it? when you're single, there's the sadness and joy of only me. And when you're paired, there's the sadness and joy of only you.

It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can't even make the comparisons anymore, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It's simply a matter of is and is no longer.
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
I asked you what you wanted and you said you didn't want anything. And I told you I wasn't planning on giving you anything I was planning on giving you something.
David Levithan
being with someone for over a year can mean that you love them … but it can also mean you’re trapped.
David Levithan
Her vulnerability is open, but she’s safe within it.
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
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
I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.
David Levithan
I don’t want to throw everything away for something uncertain.
David Levithan
And maybe it is only by finding yourself that you can feel the true intensity of becoming close to another person.
David Levithan
I want to take back at least half of the “I love you”s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones.
David Levithan
You have to trust the words. They do not create anything more than themselves.
David Levithan
We all contain mysteries, especially when seen from the inside.
David Levithan
I find I very rarely live up to my words. And since you know me primarily through my words, there are oh so many ways I can disappoint.
David Levithan
Now when I have to remember a date, all I have to do is consult my rap sheet.
