Kindle Notes & Highlights
she always reminded me of the sun. She brought light into my life. And for right now, even if it’s only for a brief moment, she brings a little bit of light into a darkness.
Sometimes when you’re grieving you don’t want to be told things will get better. You just want to feel the pain without people making false promises. With death nothing gets better. They’re still gone. Things just get more tolerable to deal with.
She’s always been my kryptonite, my favorite drug and sobriety was never an option.
Kissing him is familiar but exhilarating. It’s like seeing your home through a whole new lens.
As I adjust my body, getting comfortable in his warm embrace, I fight the urge to tell him I’d lie here with him forever. I’d count every star to infinity to stay locked in this moment with him.
“I haven’t fallen in love with anyone since you left. I’m not able to. You can’t fall in love with someone if your heart still belongs to someone else.”
The stars fail in comparison to her, but they sure do put up a fight.
It’s like our heartbeats have always beat in sync, like our hearts knew something we hadn’t quite realized.
“You feel that?” She nods. “I do.” “Ask me again if I’m yours.” “Are you mine?” “My heart only beats like that for you.” I press her hand against my chest, proving to her that no one controls my heartbeats like she does.
“The kind of love that lasts past forever.”
