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.
