More quotes by Deb Caletti
We had lain together, skin on skin, been as close as two people could, and he was a stranger. He was that someone who you are afraid of as a child, stranger. They never told you that stranger might be someone you knew.
Deb Caletti
I vow... to not let the back & forth of forgiveness interrupt the steadiness of love.
Deb Caletti
The magic of purpose and of love in its purest form. Not televison love, with its glare and hollow and sequined glint not sex and allure, all high shoes and high drama, everything both too small and in too much excess, but just love. Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine, like a surprise found in your pocket.
Deb Caletti
If you look up charming in the dictionary, you'll see that it not only has references to strong attraction, but to spells and magic. Then again, what are liars if not great magicians?
Deb Caletti
We can get so wrapped up in our own misconceptions that we miss the simple beauty of the truth.
Deb Caletti
...wanting things for the wrong reasons can turn anyone's life into a marshmallow on a stick over a hot fire: impossibly messy and eventually consumed, one way or another.
Deb Caletti
Yeah. When you want what's real and you try to find that in high school, you might as well be looking for a mossy rock beside a babbling brook on the corner of Sixth and Pine in downtown Seattle.
Deb Caletti
...forever is hard enough without it beginning now.
Deb Caletti
Maybe it was wrong, or maybe impossible, but I wanted the truth to be one thing. One solid thing.
Deb Caletti
Hurt is a weapon. Better weapon than most because it doesn't look like one.
Deb Caletti
But sometimes, too, you have this little feeling of knowing, this fuzzy, gnawing sense that someone will become a major something in your life. You just know that theirs will be a life you will enter and become a part of.
Deb Caletti
I would have spoken, had my heart not been in my throat
Deb Caletti
Most people, it seems like they've only got one part of the equation down. Caring for themselves, or caring for someone else. And I'v learned how important it is to have both.
Deb Caletti
Sometimes that´s all you need…, to know it´s not broken. To know you’re still whole and that you’ll heal.
Deb Caletti
It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama.
Deb Caletti
What’s that about? Love must be more about power than we think, if even in its most intimate moment of expression we think about not being the one who risks the most.
Deb Caletti
Stories took twists and turns down fairy-tale paths or down very human everyday ones. You think you’re at the end of the book, and it’s only the end of a chapter.
Deb Caletti
It occurred to me then that a lot of life was either about wanting and not having, or having and not wanting.
Deb Caletti
I shouldn't have to be a liar to make someone love me. I shouldn't be so afraid of losing someone that I'll do anything to make them stay.
Deb Caletti
The most true-love words are not the ones that grasp and hold and bind you, twisting you both up together in some black dance. No, they are ones that leave you free to stand alone on your own solid ground, leave him to do the same, a tender space between you.
