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.
David LevithanI know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you
David LevithanWhat a strange phrase โ โnot seeing other people. As if itโs been constructed to be a lie. We see other people all the time. The question is what we do about it.
David LevithanThere has to be a moment at the beginning where you wonder whether youโre in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself. If the moment doesnโt pass, thatโs itโyouโre done. And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes itโs even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your loversโ face.
