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.

More quotes by David Levithan
Love is the higher law.
David Levithan
He was my first boyfriend, and I made him my everything - he was my new life, my new love, my new compass point. I guess that's the danger with firsts - you lose all sense of proportion.
David Levithan
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
David Levithan
There is the sudden. There is the eventual. And in between, there is the living.
David Levithan
Freedom is also about what you will allow yourself to do.
David Levithan
She transforms once again into someone carefree, and I transform into someone whose only care is her.

motif, n. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you.

Here, she said. This is for you. I didn't really get you anything, I sputtered. I mean, I didn't know that you were going to be here, and-- Don't worry. It's your embarrassment at not having the thought that counts.
David Levithan
I have always been aware of how I break. I know what kind of situations will break me. I know what kind of people will do it. I know how much it will hurt.
David Levithan
But we comforted ourselves with what we really meant to say, which was: I don't normally feel this good about what I'm doing. Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.
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
I feel the universe is telling me something. And it doesn't even matter if it's true or not. What matters is that I feel it, and believe it.
David Levithan
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.
David Levithan
We just want to walk. Our legs need to move to keep our minds from collapsing.
David Levithan
It felt good to be surrounded by books, by all this solid knowledge, by these objects that could be ripped page by page but couldn't be torn if the pages all held together.
David Levithan
But there was something about you that made me think of sparks and motion.
David Levithan
You know, I'd get a tattoo with your name on it. Only, I want you to have the freedom to change your name if you want to.
David Levithan
And I'm moved, it's so beautiful. Not what I wrote, but to have it given back like this. To have her remember the words and the tune. To hear it in her voice.
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
I want to talk to you and be random with you and be ridiculous with you.
