David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.
David Levithan

There are many things that can keep you in a relationship, I say. Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.

David Levithan
Here's what breaks us: Even though we know better, we still want everything to be all right.
David Levithan
He’ll have to prove it to you. Every day, he’ll have to prove he’s worthy of you. And if he doesn’t, that’s it. But I think he will.
David Levithan
You are so close, and I can’t reach you.
David Levithan
lying awake beside you, these thoughts run through my head.
David Levithan
I see Nick's number. I debate whether to assign a name to his number. If I commit to that, then I will truly be heartbroken if he never calls me again my heart will knot each and every time I use this phone and see his name in there. I would probably end up having to trash the phone entirely.
