I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters.

I feel like I've been split open and stuffed with sunshine.

I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of your body. I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.

You are moody. It’s always ‘Shut up, Kenji.’ ‘Go to sleep, Kenji.’ ‘No one wants to see you naked, Kenji.’ When I know for a fact that there are thousands of people who would love to see me naked—

Hope can make people do terrible things.

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.
