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