“I’ll show you how to climb,” he said as I moved for the window. “I’ll teach you anything you want.” I wanted him to teach me everything, but I was afraid to leave my room.

“I’ll help you live an entire lifetime in the coming seasons,” he whispered. “I’ll make them the best days of your life.”

“I can’t do this anymore. I can’t sit here and wait for you to leave me. Every time I look at you, I see the end of the greatest thing in my life. You’re my best friend, my confidant, my heart. I love you, Sellah.

Queen of crying

“Gods, Sellah. You feel like death and salvation and euphoria all at once.”

I don’t care who this dark man is. He could burn the world to ash, and I would still love him.
