"Something was and wasn’t there between us,
something went on and went away."

"Don’t we touch each other just to prove we are still here? I was still here once."

"If you told me today our being together would result in heartbreak, I would still choose to be with you because I believe that truly living life is in the experiences, not the outcomes."

"I said nothing for a time, just ran my fingertips along the edge of the human-shaped emptiness that had been left inside me."

"And every wound has 
the shape of your mouth."

"And I knew it. That’s the worst part: I knew it."

"There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change your life, or you’re the one that will change theirs."

"Cool summer nights.
Windows open.
Lamps burning.
Fruit in the bowl.
And your head on my shoulder.
These the happiest moments in the day.

Next to the early morning hours,
of course. And the time
just before lunch.
And the afternoon, and
early evening hours.
But I do love
these summer nights.
Even more, I think,
than those other times.
The work finished for the day.
And no one who can reach us now.
Or ever."

"Then it wasn’t possible any longer
to stare at heaven and not be destroyed."
