Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Love gives someone the power to break you…and if you give the wrong man that power…he’ll shatter your heart and ruin you.”
His touch shouldn’t feel so good, but it feels like my salvation.
Traces of you Traces of me What a beautiful tragedy we could be.
I’m dirty You’re clean All the lines in between If only I’d let you in Maybe then I’d truly be seen.
“Then why the fuck do you want me in your life?” The truth pours out of me. “Because I feel something when I’m with you. Something I can’t explain.”
“There’s plenty of shit people should apologize for in this world…but feelings should never be one of them.”
“You’re still here, though. Which means you’re stronger than what tried to break you.”
“Addicts are people who are trying to numb the pain, too. Only difference is, they aren’t dead…yet.”
“We’re all gonna die someday, baby girl. But it’s still no reason to miss out on all the fun life has to offer.”
“That’s the world, baby girl.” The look he gives me steals my breath. “And you’re in it for a reason.”
“You do things to me.” Everything in me goes still. “What kinds of things?” His voice is so low it’s nothing but a faint rasp, but I hear it. “You make me feel.”
“Oakley?” “Yeah?” “You make me feel things, too.” Things my mother warned me not to feel.
“We’ll never be butterflies,” I choke out as he rocks me. “Caterpillars are cool, too,” he whispers against my hair.
He let me in instead of going to the dark side. Just like I did with him.
and then I’m chasing after him. Because where he goes, I will always follow.
He doesn’t let just anyone in, but when he does? It’s like feeling the sun’s rays for the very first time and you can’t help but bask in everything he is.
Most of my life I’ve wanted to die…until Oakley made me feel alive.
