More quotes by Gayle Forman
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.

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.
Gayle Forman
She left for Juilliard the day after Labor Day. I drove her to the airport. She kissed me good-bye. She told me that she loved me more than life itself. Then she stepped through security. She never came back.
Gayle Forman
Even going to jail would be easy compared to losing you.
Gayle Forman
If these walls could talk, I wonder what secrets they'd tell.
Gayle Forman
In that twisted incestuous way of fate, Mia's a part of our history, and we're among the shards of her legacy.
Gayle Forman
We can change in one day. We can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman
Anything can happen in one day.
Gayle Forman
One day she told me that they'd decided that my gender was divvied into two neat piles-Men and Guys. Basically, all the saints of the world: Men. The jerks, the players, the wet T-shirt contest aficionados? They were Guys.
Gayle Forman
You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it's out of your control -Mia
Gayle Forman
These days, you’ve gotta milk a dollar out of every dime.
Gayle Forman
And I kissed him back so hard, like I was trying to merge our bodies through our lips.
Gayle Forman
Then I smell the sweat on him, a clean musky scent that I'd bottle and wear as perfume if I could.
Gayle Forman
