Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together
David Levithan
...but the truth is that I don't feel like I can carry anyone but myself right now. The streets are empty. I am empty. Or, no--I am full of pain. It's my life that's empty.

...and suddenly you started singing out your love for me. My name and everything, loud enough to reach the top floors of all the buildings.

You like him because he's a lost boy. Believe me, I've seen it happen before. But do you know what happens to girls who love lost boys? They become lost themselves. Without fail.

I am proud that I defy your categories. I am proud that I don't fit easily into any box. I am proud of all the things I am and all the things i can be. Question yourself every time you think you only see one thing in me.

Please may this not be a game. Please may this not be a game. Because if it’s a game, I know I’m going to lose.
