Things I like lately
“ You may not know it yet, maybe you’ll never even think about it, but I’m special. You’re going to meet a lot of girls throughout your life, and a lot of them will be special to you. But I’m telling you right now, you’ll never find another me. ”

"I like to think that somewhere out there, on a planet exactly like ours, two people exactly like you and me made totally different choices and that, somewhere, we're still together.
That's enough for me. "
"You are defined by the way in which you treat the people you love. And, the people you hate. "
"You make me want to drink water. Not soda. A salad. Run every morning. Get enough sleep. So when I end, I'll know I had all the time I could get, with you. "
"I’m all out of midnight phone calls and flowers sent to your door. I’m out of throwing letters off fire escapes and drawing a cathedral in the sand. I’m out of spray-painting your name on freeway overpasses. I’m low on cute names given between blankets and 9am. I’ve got no dramatic displays of public affection left. And now everyone else I ever love is going to think me boring. Because I used it all up on you. "
"you’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. and you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. you’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for. "

"You want me to be made of the same thin paper as you. But it'd feel like I was kissing cardboard. "
"Making love was never about you and me in a bed. We made love whenever we held hands. "
“ You don’t get to choose, you just fall for someone. And you get this person who’s all right and wrong at the same time. Sometimes you love them so much, and other times they drive you completely insane, and no one can explain it. But the reason it’s so confusing is it’s love, and if love didn’t have challenges, what would be the point? No one said falling in love was going to be easy. There will be tears, laughter, anger, but it’s when you want to be together despite it all, that you know it’s true love. ”
“ Having the love of your life break up with you and say ‘we can still be friends’ is like your dog dying and your mom saying ‘you can still keep it.’ ”
“ Her favorite song will say more about her than her mouth ever will. ”
“ There’s a reason why people describe love as being “head over heels.” You feel like you’re completely turned upside down. There’s the physical stuff -your cheeks getting hot, the flutters in your stomach. And then there’s the mental madness - you feel like you’re losing your mind because all you can think about is the way they smell, how good it feels when they put their arms around you, or the cute little dimple they get when they smile. When you’re with them, there’s no other place you’d rather be; when you’re not, you can barely wait until you see them again. Love is a total high - better than eating chocolate, acing a test, or scoring the winning goal. ”
“ You can say I changed and I can say fuck you. You never knew me to begin with. ”
