Ellen Hopkins
Image
The truth is, I've always been afraid of letting anyone get too close. I built a wall around me, a barricade to hide behind those few times someone wanted entry to my heart.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
Love means holding on to someone just as hard as you can because if you don't, one blink and they might disappear...forever.
Ellen Hopkins
