Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’m starved for her attention. Greedy for her to stare at me with as much longing as I have for her. “Surely, no one would mind if I shaved a few years off of my life.” I swallow the knot in my throat. I would.
Of course, a monster like me would find solace in another familiar. We’re broken things. Broken, dangerous weapons.
I would do anything for her. Even if she never remembers my love for her.
“I betrayed the only person I ever loved, and I’ll never forgive myself for it.”
“You don’t remember me,” he murmurs. “But I can never forget you.”
“There could be endless versions of you, and I’d love each one as fervently and entirely.”
“They took my hair because they knew I loved it, but I couldn’t shed a single tear over something as fickle as hair when what I truly loved was you. They can take everything from me as long as it isn’t you,”
“I’d pursue you to no end. You are the only home I’ve ever truly known,”
“And I’d fall in love with you over and over, should I forget. I would always find solace in your eyes. Love inside your heart.”
Why was love withheld from me for my entire life until you?
“My poetic soldier. So out of place, yet you’ve never belonged anywhere else…except, perhaps, in my arms.”
“Mori, as in to conquer,”
“Morphine, as in a goddess of dreams,”
“I loved you completely. In a way we never got to fully explore together. You were the sunlight over a frozen lake. The whisper of happiness I got to know. I love you, Em… I love you. Now, look away,”
The me before I met you would’ve greedily killed them all just for a chance to rise further up, but you changed me, Em.”
