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
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
David Levithan
Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
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.
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
She transforms once again into someone carefree, and I transform into someone whose only care is her.
David Levithan
