David Levithan
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
David Levithan
I don't want to fall. All I want to do is stand on solid ground.

David Levithan
I wake up feverish, sore, uncomfortable. Is it sickness or is it heartbreak? I can't tell. The thermometer says I'm normal, but I'm clearly not.
David Levithan

David Levithan
Even if you were green and had a beard and a male appendage between your legs. Even if your eyebrows were orange and you had a mole covering your entire cheek and a nose that poked me in the eye every time I kissed you. Even if you weighed seven hundred pounds and had hair the size of a Doberman under your arms. Even then, I would love you.
