What I learned The well-documented difference Between alone and lonely The comfort of knowing
David Levithan
The minute I knew I was in love was the minute when there was no question about it.
David Levithan
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.

David Levithan
dissonance, n. Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk to you and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't here it.
David Levithan
But the thing about a cry for help is that someone else needs to be around to hear it.
David Levithan
They don’t have silences together they have noise. Mostly his.
David Levithan
and when he catches me off guard and says 'i love you' i catch him off guard and say 'i need your help.

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.
