Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Because I’m obsessed with you, baby. Haven’t you realized that by now?”
“I was prepared to love the world, but no one understood me, so I learned to hate.”
“When are you going to understand that other women don’t exist for me anymore? There’s only you. There will only ever be you.”
“But, Sunshine, the more I see you fight the feelings that are trying to burst out of you, the more determined I become. I will wait for you for however long it takes. I’d rather face your scornful looks and your righteous anger than exist in a world where you’re not mine.”
“Believe me, I know. But I also know that as long as my heart beats, I’m going to keep trying to find a path back to you. Back to us.”
“You’re it for me. You are my first love. And you are my last.”
But seeing you fighting for your life made me realize I love you more than my own selfish desire to keep you with me. If what you want is a life far away from the darkness that comes with me, I won’t stand in your way.”
Don’t go. Please don’t go. Choose me. I know I’m not perfect, but I will spend the rest of my days loving you better than anyone else ever can. I’ll make all of the darkness that comes with me worth it. I promise.
Maybe that’s the problem with never having loved anyone before her—I made love into something mythical, something that can conquer all. But maybe love is simpler than that. Maybe it’s just doing the right thing for the other person, even if it tears you apart.
“When you left, you took a piece of me with you,” I whisper. “The most vital one.”
