There is no word for our kind of friendship. Two people who don't see each other a lot, but can make each other effortlessly happy
David Levithan
All this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.

it's gonna hurt because it matters.

David Levithan
Let me hold on to this the way it was, before I knew anything else.
David Levithan
There are times when I worry that I've already lost myself. That is, that my self is so inseparable from being with you that if we were to separate, I would no longer be. I save this thought for when I feel the darkest discontent. I never meant to depend so much on someone else.
David Levithan
How amazing it is that friendships can become so full that you can't imagine what your life was like before them.
David Levithan
There's no way for them to take away my sadness, but they can make sure I am not empty of all the other feelings.
David Levithan
If you want to be loved, be a lovable. It's a good place to start.
David Levithan
When he talked to you, you seemed to fit in, but when someone else was talking, or he would be distracted, you jsut looked lonely over there. At least to me. But whenever I would tell you that, you'd say I'm fine. I just slip out of it, you know? And I'd say I'll catch you, and you would say, It's not the kind of slipping you can catch.
