David Levithan
Maybe, it's not the distance that's the problem, but how you handle it.

My face seems too square and my eyes too big, like I'm perpetually surprised, but there's nothing wrong with me that I can fix.
David Levithan
I have no idea how he knows when I need him. We can go weeks without speaking, and then, when my blue moods threaten to turn black, he will show up and tell me my moods are azure indigo cerulean cobalt periwinkle and suddenly the blue will not seem so dark, more like the color of a noon-bright sky. He brings the sun.
David Levithan
Once you experience enormity, it lingers everywhere you look, and want to be every word you say.
David Levithan
I know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you
David Levithan
