Kindle Notes & Highlights
A tear snaked its way down my cheek as I smiled at her and repeated her earlier words. “You and me, we’re going to be friends.”
“Gotten stronger every fucking day, month, and year. To the point where you’ve become a permanent part of me, and I don’t know if I could ever exist without you.”
My heart, even now, refused to listen. It was failing to
comprehend what my brain kept repeating to it. That access to its counterpart was now suddenly forbidden. Or maybe, it simply felt too betrayed to care.
She was my first in every way, in a way that messed up something fundamental inside me when I realized we weren’t going to be each other’s last.
We were the breeze that ruffled the dandelions. The sun that scorched our skin red until we searched for reprieve under our favorite willow tree. And underneath the stretch of dark skies, we were each
other’s stars.
“You smell and taste like my heart,” he whispered to the underside of my chin, pressing lazy kisses. “And you feel like fucking heaven.”
“Well, you’ve made your bed. It may look untidy as hell right now, but it’s up to you how and which way you want to fix it.”
“Because without the stars, the moon is left alone to battle the dark.”
His eyes shut, and when they reopened, they were full of urgency. “Forever, I’ll love you. It’ll never stop.”
It was true. Not everyone would get a happy ending. But I’d gotten mine. And I wouldn’t apologize for it anymore.
Some things were simply irrefutable and inescapable. The stars, the moon, and the way my heart would always beat in sync with hers. And with enough forgiveness, love, and trust, not even forever could stop us.
