Julia

“Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“Because when you're in love with someone for the first time, their name is enough. Just seeing my hand form Tom's name was enough. Almost.”
― Bethan Roberts, My Policeman

“It’s difficult, now, to remember exactly how I felt about you on that day, after all that’s happened since.”
― Bethan Roberts, My Policeman
