When I say, "Be my lover", I don't mean, "Let's have an affair." I don't mean "Sleep with me." I don't mean, "Be my secret." I want us to go back down to that root. I want you to be the one who loves me. I want to be the one who loves you.

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

You know what’s a great metaphor for love? Sleeping beauty. Because you have to plow through this incredible thicket of thorns in order to get to beauty, and even then, when you get there, you still have to wake her up. — Tiny Cooper

If you let the world in, you open yourself up to the world. Even if the world doesn't know that you're there.

I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.

I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way.

Magic naturally fades over distance. But proximity - well, when it works, proximity amplifies magic.
