Even going to jail would be easy compared to losing you.
Gayle Forman

But I'd do it again. I know that now. I'd make that promise a thousand times over and lose her a thousand times over to have heard her play last night or to see her in the morning sunlight. Or even without that. Just to know that she's somewhere out there. Alive.

Sleep would be so welcome. A warm blanket of black to erase everything else. Sleep without dreams. I've heard people talk about the sleep of the dead. Is that what death would feel like? The nicest, warmest, heaviest never-ending nap? If that's what it's like, I wouldn't mind. If that's what dying is like, I wouldn't mind that at all.

It's okay if you want to go. Everyone wants you to stay. I want you to stay more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. But that's what I want and I could see why it might not be what you want. So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting.

Forward momentum. That's my new motto. No regrets. And no going back.

I'm not choosing, but I'm running out of fight.
Gayle Forman

Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.
Gayle Forman
Image
..all I left with was the magnitude of my mistake, of my missing you. And I have to watch you from this distance, watch you achieve your dreams, live what seemed like this perfect life.
Gayle Forman
Image
Letting go. Everyone talks about it like it's the easiest thing. Unfurl your fingers one by one until your hand is open.
Gayle Forman
Image
There were signs. Probably more of them than I ever caught, even after the fact. But I missed them all. Maybe because I wasn’t looking for them. I was too busy checking over my shoulder at the fire I’d just come through to pay much attention to the thousand-foot cliff looming in front of me.

If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.

I am adrenaline slammed into inertia: a fast car stuck in traffic.

My stomach lurched, an appetizer before the full portion of heartache I had a feeling was going to be served at some point soon.
