Quote

...but the truth is that I don't feel like I can carry anyone but myself right now. The streets are empty. I am empty. Or, no--I am full of pain. It's my life that's empty.

It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.

The way you argued with me, you would have thought that we were debating the existence of God or whether or not we should move in together. These kinds of fights can never be won – even if you’re the victor, you’ve hurt the other person, and there has to be some loss associated with that.

Just because a person is beautiful doesn't mean there's no soul beneath. Doesn't mean that person hasn't suffered like everyone else, doesn't mean they don't hope to still be a good human being in an awful world.

Game over, you say, and I don't know which I take more exception to-- the fact that you say its over, or the fact that you say it's a game.

You will always be my always.

I think of friendship in terms of love.
David Levithan

I could point out that it isn't always easy knowing who you are and what you want, because then you have no excuse for not trying to get it.

You have to believe there are kisses and laughs and risks worth taking.

There is no such thing as no choice. There is always a choice. The only question is whether it's a bearable one.

Maybe, it's not the distance that's the problem, but how you handle it.

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.

I feel the universe is telling me something. And it doesn't even matter if it's true or not. What matters is that I feel it, and believe it.
