Every relationship has a hard part at the beginning. This is our hard part. It's not like a puzzle piece where there's an instant fit. With relationships, you have to shape the pieces on each end before they go perfectly together.

More quotes by David Levithan
If you stare at the center of the universe, there is coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other.
David Levithan
Every person is a possibility. The hopeless romantics feel it most acutely, but even for others, the only way to keep going is to see every person as a possibility.
David Levithan
I had always felt that mittens were a few steps back on the evolutionary scale-- why, I wondered, would we want to make ourselves into a less agile version of lobster.
David Levithan
When you live as I do, you cannot indulge in jealousy. If you do, it will rip you apart.
David Levithan
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
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
We all contain mysteries, especially when seen from the inside.
David Levithan
I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way.
David Levithan
Things are not magical because they've been conjured for us by some outside force. They are magical because we create them.
David Levithan
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.
David Levithan
Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this.
David Levithan
The tenderness between two people can turn the air tender, the room tender, time itself tender. As I step out of bed and slip on an oversize shirt, everything around me feels like it's the temperature of happiness.
David Levithan
love is tied to truth. I think of them as unhappily conjoined twins.
David Levithan
I barely notice colors unless I taste them. Not the yellows or the greens. I taste the deeper blues. The darker reds.
David Levithan
I get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end.
David Levithan
I've worn black today, because I've heard so often that it's supposed to be slimming. But instead I am this sphere of darkness submarining through the halls.
David Levithan
Every time you love someone, you put not just your faith in them, but your faith in everything to the test.
David Levithan
Maybe there is hope in the fragments, that what is lost can always be filled in by someone who knows.
David Levithan
We found out a long time ago that we weren’t meant to fall in love with each other. But a part of me still fell in hope with him.
David Levithan
This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance.
