A sound waiting to be a word.
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.

Its almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - Im a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.
David Levithan
People are always separable.
David Levithan
When is a night over? Is it the start of sunrise or the end of it? Is it when you finally go to sleep or simply realize that you have to? When the club closes or when you everyone leaves? It's over when you decide it's over, she says. When you call it a night. The rest is just a matter of where the sun is in the sky.
David Levithan
Eventually she fell asleep, but I kept the phone against my ear, lulled by her breathing, and her breathing again in the background. And yes, it felt like home. Like everything belonged exactly where it was.
David Levithan
I say good-bye to the part of myself that misses him so much.
David Levithan
It is much harder to lie to someone's face. But. It is also much harder to tell the truth to someone's face.
David Levithan
I don't want to steal anybody's story. I very much want to use the stories that I hear to get lost in my mind, to tell a larger story.
David Levithan
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
David Levithan
I get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end.
David Levithan
Why do we even bother? Why do we make ourselves so open to such easy damage? Is it all loneliness? Is it all fear? Or is it just to experience those narcotic moments of belonging with someone else?
David Levithan
I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.
