More quotes by David Levithan
arrears, n. My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I though would go wrong, I never thought it would be that. It was a mistake, you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.
David Levithan
Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.
David Levithan
But there was something about you that made me think of sparks and motion.
David Levithan
I wake up feverish, sore, uncomfortable. Is it sickness or is it heartbreak? I can't tell. The thermometer says I'm normal, but I'm clearly not.
David Levithan
You have to trust the words. They do not create anything more than themselves.
David Levithan
It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can't even make the comparisons anymore, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It's simply a matter of is and is no longer.
David Levithan
I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too.

I want to take back at least half of the “I love you”s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones.
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.
David Levithan
We all contain mysteries, especially when seen from the inside.
David Levithan
This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
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
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
I know from experience that beneath every peripheral girl is a central truth. She’s hiding hers away, but at the same time she wants me to see it.
David Levithan
And as we drift into sleep, I feel something I’ve never felt before. A closeness that isn’t merely physical. A connection that defies the fact that we’ve only just met. A sensation that can only come from the most euphoric of feelings: belonging.
David Levithan
How amazing it is that friendships can become so full that you can't imagine what your life was like before them.
David Levithan
Because it is senior year I have begun to see things as potential absences. The things I love will become the things I'll miss.
David Levithan
It's the way you say thank you like you're genuinely thankful. I have never met anyone else who does that on a regular basis.
David Levithan
But I had a feeling I wasn't supposed to find her that way. She was not a needle. This was not a haystack. We were people, and people had ways of finding each other.
