More quotes by David Levithan
To love--to fall--is not a question. To touch--to kiss--to speak--those are questions.
David Levithan
Love weaves itself from hundreds of threads.
David Levithan
I'll see you later, he says, and as he does, he runs his finger briefly over my wrist. It passes over me like air, and makes me shiver like a kiss.
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
And just like that, the universe goes wrong. Just like that, all the enormity seems to shrink into a ball and float away from my reach. I feel it, and she doesn't. Or I feel it, and she won't.
David Levithan
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.
David Levithan
I want to write my life. I want to be able to write my life. You are a second away from saying it. You have no idea how much I love you.
David Levithan
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.
David Levithan
If you zoom close-if you get really close to someone, if you really get close to yourself-then you lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can't see anything anymore.
David Levithan
But I guess you don't see the planets when you're staring at the sun. You just get blinded.
David Levithan
Love is so painful, how could you ever wish it on anybody? And love is so essential, how could you ever stand in its way?
David Levithan
We'd said we'd keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep as soon as it's gone, it's gone. We should have said we'd keep in words, because they are all we can string between us--words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.
David Levithan
Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
David Levithan
Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love.
David Levithan
Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
David Levithan
I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation
David Levithan
But I want to feel like life matters. I had something real with you, but then the realness scared me. I decided to go for other things instead.
David Levithan
I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which I knew was not socially acceptable. I particularly loved the adjective bookish, which I found other people used about as often as ramrod or chum or teetotaler.

Maybe, it's not the distance that's the problem, but how you handle it.
