What would you do if you had to choose?
Gayle Forman
Image
And our lips. There isn't enough skin, enough spit, enough time, for the lost years that our lips are trying to make up for as they find each other. We kiss. The electric current switches to high. The lights throughout all of Brooklyn must be surging.
Gayle Forman
Image
It was selfish what I asked her to do, even if it wound up being the most unselfish thing I've ever done.

Image
You forget, time doesn't exist anymore. You gave it to me.
Gayle Forman
Image
My first impulse is not to grab her or kiss her or yell at her. I simple want to touch her cheek, still flushed from the night's performance. I want to cut through the space that separates us, measured in feet-not miles, not continents, not years-and to take a callused finger to her face.

Gayle Forman
Image
She's still beautiful. Not in an obvious Vanessa LeGrande or Byrn Shraeder kind of way. In a quiet way that's always been devastating to me.
Gayle Forman
Image
But then Mason touches my neck, to the spot on it where the cut from that night has since healed, and I pull away. He was right, after all it didn't leave a scar, though part of me wishes it had. At least I'd have some evidence, some justification of this permanence. Stains are even worse when you're the only one who can see them.
Gayle Forman
Image
I want to undo this. To make it right. But I have no idea how. I don't seem to know how to open up to people without getting the door slammed in my face. So I do nothing.
Gayle Forman
Image
Traveling is not something you are good at. It is something you do. Like breathing.
Gayle Forman
Image
He gives me a little shrug, like, of course, why else? And at this point, I really have no right to be surprised by people's capacity for kindness and generosity, but still, I am. I'm floored every time.
Gayle Forman
Image
If I stay. If I live. It's up to me.
Gayle Forman
Image
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
Image
I'm so tired of missing things I don't have.
Gayle Forman

Anything can happen in one day.
