The Noah I had found in his room, the one that had joined me in the shower that first time, and the one who told me how much he missed his dad. They were all the same person I was seeing now. If I could clear all the other stuff away, maybe this could work. When things were good between us, it was like being on top of the world. I had never known happiness like this. I wanted to make this work more than anything. So I took his hand.
This is why you keep going, you see what others can’t and you thrive for those moments of the person you feel in love with. That person you see through it all and know is there. God it is so hard when you are holding on to a ghost of a person when what is solid is not what you love
