I couldn't fault her for believing, because I had to imagine i was nice to have that illusion still intact.

Freedom is also about what you will allow yourself to do.
David Levithan
It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean.
David Levithan
You can't deny that there's something between us. No. There is. When I saw you today--I didn't know I'd been waiting for you until you were there. And then all of that waiting rushed through me in a second. That's something... but I don't know if it's certainty.

I think that if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring. I have to believe that.

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.

Dullness is the spice of life. Which is why we must always use other spices.
David Levithan
Indelible, adj. That first night, you took your finger and pointed to the top of my head, then traced a line between my eyes, down my nose, over my lips, my chin, my neck, to the center of my chest. It was so surprising. I knew I would never mimic it. That one gesture would be yours forever.
David Levithan
Our moments are music, and sometimes – just sometimes – we can catch them and put them into some lasting form. If we didn’t have music, I don’t think we could ever be truly happy, and if we didn’t have special moments, we would never find music.
David Levithan
I couldn't remember ordinary moments, only the ones that had made an impression. Ordinary moments were the ones that fell away first.
David Levithan
Moments into minutes. Minutes into hours. Hours into days. Days into years. Years into possibility. This will linger.
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
I asked you what you wanted and you said you didn't want anything. And I told you I wasn't planning on giving you anything I was planning on giving you something.
David Levithan
There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.
David Levithan
Maybe language is kind, giving us these double meanings. Maybe it's trying to teach us a lesson, that we can always be two things at once.
David Levithan
This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance.

This is what my voice sounds like I don't need to be talking to someone else To hear it
