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.

David Levithan
Long live protest songs, in whatever form they take.
David Levithan
I text tiny a minute later. MADE NEW GAY FRIEND. And he texts back PROGRESS!!!
David Levithan
why won't they leave me alone? don't they realize I have a tinder heart and a paper body and that any spark will turn me straight to ash?
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
We just want to walk. Our legs need to move to keep our minds from collapsing.
David Levithan
I don't get this at all. It's like protesting the fact that some people are red-haired.
David Levithan
There are few things harder than being born into the wrong body.
David Levithan
We'd said we'd keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep as soon as it's gone, it's gone. We should have said we'd keep in words, because they are all we can string between us--words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.
David Levithan
I would always wait to take you home.
