“When you’re in love, your brain secretes endorphins into your blood. Organic morphine leaks out of a gland in your skull, feels like a low-grade opium rush. Some people confuse the two, the head rush and the love. You think you’re in love with a person, but you’re in love with a syringe.”

I miss her eyes, and the smell of her hair, and the way her breath tasted. I fucking miss everything.

I always thought I'd see her again.”
