You leave the phone on beside you as you fall asleep. I sit in my bed and listen to your breathing, until I know you are safe, until I know you no longer need me for the night.

I am constantly torn between killing myself and killing everyone around me.

There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you’re in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.

You can't know what it is like for us now--you will always be one step behind. Be thankful for that. You can't know what it was like for us then--you will always be one step ahead. Be thankful for that, too.

Let me hold on to this the way it was, before I knew anything else.

Things rarely get fixed the way they need to be.
