Kindle Notes & Highlights
I am a speck of starlight in an endless galaxy, a black hole meandering aimlessly toward me.
“I know that it came out wrong, me wanting you. I had a bad day, and I took that out on you because I’m terrified that you’re going to turn on me, and that you’re not going to be real. I want you to be real so fucking badly.”
“I like knowing that it’s me, dripping out of you. That it’s only ever been me. That if I just behave myself, it will only be me in the future.”

“Don’t clean up too well. I want to know that part of me is still inside of you.”
“If it can’t be lost, then it could never have been found in the first place. It’s okay to love something, and then let it go. It’s okay to say goodbye because saying goodbye leaves room for saying hello.”
“You can tell me anything, anytime, anywhere. I promise that I’ll always listen, that if I feel angry or upset or hurt, that I’ll always do the courtesy of hearing you out. That if I need a minute, I’ll take it before I respond. That way, you’ll only ever hear my words and not just my reactions or my emotions.”
“I’ll show you with my body that I like you as a man, and I’ll show you with my heart that I love you as a friend.”
Magic. We’re experiencing magic. And it’s more than just the curse. It’s me and Tam. It’s finding someone who makes you laugh, who makes you moan, who makes you smile, who gives you a handkerchief when you cry, who believes you when the rest of the world is against you.
People don’t die because you don’t love them enough. Sometimes, they just die.
