“Soften the blow, so I could make a joke about you falling for me.” He grins.
“It shows that despite their best efforts to forget each other, and despite each other's flaws and failures, they’re still willing to give it another chance. People can’t be modified by ignorance or renunciation,”
“And sometimes the worst things that we do lead us to the best things that happen to us,”
“If you only read what everyone else does, you can only think what everyone else is thinking,”
He gazes at me like I’m the stars when all I’ve ever felt before was the darkness that encircles them. He makes me feel insanely sane for the first time in my life. “It
“Not everything is defined by fate, and fate is almost always cruel and unfair.”
He tastes like desperation and self-destruction. I taste myself in him.
Being with Ace is like a breath of fresh air after I’ve been drowning for so long. And here with him, I’m finally living instead of existing.
He soothes my soul and brings me back to life. I’ve never felt more in control with anyone, including myself.
Sleep. Such a simple thing, really. You close your eyes, and you disappear into your most vulnerable state. Some people have dreams, others have nightmares, but the best sleep is filled with nothingness.

two things can happen when a collision occurs. The stars either form as one, or they collapse into a black hole. We lock eyes together, and I’m safe. He makes me feel calm, high on endorphins. And that’s when I realize we’re collapsing into a black hole. Because nothing that feels this good can last. And nothing can escape a black hole, not even us.
Nothing can stay the same. We’re all part of a changing power that twists and turns us in unconceivable ways until we experience it for ourselves. There may be harsh and eccentric lessons to learn, but they are all a reminder that nothing stays the same—not even when you want it to. Every so often, that can be something to look forward to, and other times, it’s something we shy away from. Nevertheless, take everything as it comes, for it’s a gift to be able to move through time and experience what the universe offers you—no matter how forbidding it may seem.
Taking a deep, shaky breath, I open my eyes and let myself skim the words that will be entrenched in my mind for the rest of eternity. Maybe we’ll meet again in another life. When the stars align.
