"Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair."
"When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, is it not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end?"
"If I could dream at all it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it."
"I'm here . . . which roughly translated means I would rather die than stay away from you. I'm an idiot."
"I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars."
"Love is irrational, I reminded myself. The more you loved someone, the less sense anything made."
"You are my life. You're the only thing it would hurt to lose."
"I can't live in a world where you don't exist."
"Still, in that instant, I felt well. Whole. I could feel my heart racing in my chest. The blood pulsing hot and fast through my veins. I was perfect - not healed, but as if there had been no wound in the first place. It was like there had never been a hole in my chest at all."
