This is the thing they don't tell you about being a third wheel - it's not like you're the wheel that's added on. You were one of the original two wheels, but suddenly you're not so important anymore. The relationship drives fine without you.
David Levithan
All this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.

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.

This is a difference between us: you desire what other people have, while I desire the things I used to have, or think I might have one day.

Part of growing up is making sure your sense of reality isn't entirely grounded in your own mind.
David Levithan
Falling in love with someone doesn’t mean you know any better how they feel. It only means you know how you feel.
David Levithan
Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
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
I want to kiss her without counting the seconds. I want to hold her so long that I get to know her skin. I want, I want, I want.
David Levithan
Indelible, adj. That first night, you took your finger and pointed to the top of my head, then traced a line between my eyes, down my nose, over my lips, my chin, my neck, to the center of my chest. It was so surprising. I knew I would never mimic it. That one gesture would be yours forever.
David Levithan
We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.
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?
