I have taken advantage of other people's weaknesses in order to cover my own.

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 had no idea what I wanted, only that I wanted something, which is the worst kind of wanting.

I am proud that I defy your categories. I am proud that I don't fit easily into any box. I am proud of all the things I am and all the things i can be. Question yourself every time you think you only see one thing in me.

breathtaking, adj. Those moments when we kiss and surrender for an hour before we say a single word.

I am starting to get tired of relying on words.

Even though I'm seventeen, I guess I still thought this would always be true - that there would always be that lost-and-found, and not the lost-and-still-lost that I am now trapped inside.
