Sarah Dessen
I didn't want to leave things the way we had, unresolved, ... and tried to tell myself he cared about me enough not to look elsewhere for what I wasn't giving him.
Sarah Dessen
It was like discovering that some part of you wasn't yours at all. And it made me wonder what else I couldn't claim.
Sarah Dessen
I'm starting to think, though, that some things never get that. The replay, and all. So at some point you have to make peace with it as it is, not keep waiting for a chance to change it
Sarah Dessen
It was like that part of my life, was just gone. It was almost too easy, for something I once thought had meant everything.
Sarah Dessen
But there was something I liked about the idea of those seeds buried so deep having at least a chance to emerge
