I sometimes think the stronger you feel about someone, the harder it is to picture their face when you are away from them.

Wear them, they will make you brave.

There are some people who fall in love over and over.

He loved her for being so beautiful, and he hated her for it. He loved how she put shiny stuff on her lips for him, and he also reviled her for it. He wanted her to walk home alone, and he wanted to run after her and grab her up before she could take another step.

The path of your life can change in an instant.

There are moments in your life when the big pieces slide and shift. Sometimes the big changes dong happen gradually but all at once. That's how it was for us. That was the day we discovered that friends can do things for you that your parents can't.

It was probably good you couldn't flip the love switch because sometimes it was what you needed even if you didn't want it.
