You can't love anyone that way more than once in a lifetime. It's too hard and it hurts too much when it ends.

You're not supposed to have it all figured out in high school. If you knew it all, and it was the best, it's all downhill from there.

What do you do when you finally hear everything you've always thought said aloud?

But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening.

The true story...is the realization that no time in your life is ever perfect, that even the best memories have cracks you might not see.

Like I, of all people, didn't know better than to lead a total stranger to the point where they could hurt me most, knowing how easily they'd be able to find their way back to it.

Sometimes love can be an ugly thing.
