Because when something happens, she's the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.
David LevithanNo, really,' I said. 'I think she's great. And I honestly like her about twenty more times now than I did when we were dating. But love needs to have a future. And Sofia and I don't have a future. We've just had a good time sharing the present, that's all.
David LevithanThere is no reason that we should ever be ashamed of our bodies or ashamed of our love.
David LevithanWe always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves. We need someone else to get close enough to tell us weโre wrong. Someone we trust.
David LevithanWe hold hands as we walk through town. If anybody notices, nobody cares. I know we all like to think of the heart as the center of the body but at this moment, every conscious part of me is in the hand that he holds. It is through that hand, that feeling, that I experience everything else.
David LevithanAnd still, for all the jealously, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you --- it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events.
