I couldn't forget. I couldn't break. She had the power to break me. No one had ever been given that power, ever.

Write every day. Writing is a muscle that gets stronger with use.

I don’t want you to just be my tutor. I want you to be the girl I look for in the halls every morning and save a seat for in the cafeteria. I want you to be the one waiting for me when I walk off the field at my games. I want you to be the one I pick up the phone to call just to make me smile.

In the screwed-up life I’d been dealt, she was my only source of comfort.

I wanted to live. For the father and brother who I never knew and for my mother who was cheated of a life of happiness. I wanted to live for them. And I wanted to live for me.

When I'm with you, my world is complete. When I touch you, I understand the meaning of life. When I lost you, I completely shattered. You. Own. Me.

I need you. Right now. Let me love you right here, please.
