Romancing the Reader

“Each person that comes into your life offers you a new world, a new place and feelings, not always good, and from each one we have the opportunity to learn. Whether we accept those lessons is on us.”
― K.A. Knight, Den of Vipers

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

She smiles gently.

"Does the song mean something to you?"

"I wrote it using pieces of my soul."

"Then you have nothing to worry about," she says quietly.”
― Colleen Hoover, Layla

“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
