David Levithan
This is my life, I think. I am an accumulation of objects.
David Levithan
You are so close, and I can’t reach you.
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 had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.

Which is more stubborn, the love or the two arguing people caught within it?
David Levithan
There are times when I worry that I've already lost myself. That is, that my self is so inseparable from being with you that if we were to separate, I would no longer be. I save this thought for when I feel the darkest discontent. I never meant to depend so much on someone else.
