Gayle Forman
My stomach lurched, an appetizer before the full portion of heartache I had a feeling was going to be served at some point soon.
Gayle Forman
Traveling is not something you are good at. It is something you do. Like breathing.
Gayle Forman
I'm not choosing, but I'm running out of fight.
Gayle Forman
If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.
Gayle Forman
I'll be your mess,you be mine That was the deal that we had signed I bought a hazmat suit to clean up your waste Gas masks,gloves,to keep us safe But now i'm alone in an empty room Staring down immaculate doom Messy
