    “I missed it the way you miss the sun after a long stretch of cloudy days, where you begin to forget the cloudiness, forget to miss the sun, and then one day it comes back to you so hot and clear and bright that you wonder how you ever lived without it.”
    Sierra Simone, American Prince

    Colleen Hoover
    “Attraction isn’t something that only happens once, with one person. It’s part of what drives humans. Our attraction to each other, to art, to food, to entertainment. Attraction is fun. So when you decide to commit to someone, you aren’t saying, ‘I promise I’ll never be attracted to anyone else.’ You’re saying, ‘I promise to commit to you, despite my potential future attraction to other people.”
    Colleen Hoover, Regretting You

    Colleen Hoover
    “What if you don't like my music?" I ask. "Will you still let me kiss you?"

    K. Bromberg
    “There's always something in a first kiss. The first hint if you fit together. The initial inkling whether his style of kissing is one that makes your stomach flutter, your core ache and causes your hands to fist his shirt. That immediate knowledge that you want to do this again or that you need to walk away and never look back.”

    L.J. Shen
    “The thing is, you can't really rely on love. Which is why I intend to offer you something far more consistent. Commitment, friendship and loyalty. I promise to give you my protection, no matter the price. I will never turn our back on us. We will fall in and out of love many times, but I promise to always find my way back to you. To put us back together even when the temptation to break things off is too much. And when loves feels far away..."

    He presses his forehead to mine, his lips moving over mine.

    “I always thought I'd find the ultimate happiness within the pages of a book. I've been so convinced of that fact that I devoted so much of my life disappearing inside them, searching for that which has always eluded me. I should have known I wouldn't find what I was looking for on ink and paper. Even the poets entrusted their foolish hearts into the hands of others.”
    Callie Hart, Riot House

    “I love you, Daria Followhill, and I think you love me, too. In fact, I think we fell at the same time. You, like rain, in drizzles, over the weeks. Me, like the fucking sky above my head, all at once, crashing without the faintest chance of stopping.”
    L.J. Shen, Pretty Reckless

    “I wish I could rewrite you out of my life
    But all your pages are highlighted
    Dog-eared and thumbed to death
    I can no longer read you
    But you are still my favorite poem”
    L.J. Shen, Pretty Reckless
