"It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can't even make the comparisons any more, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It's simply a matter of is and is no longer."

"We'll have contests to see which one of us can be more sceptical. [...] But. In the end, we both want the right thing to happen, the right person to win, the right idea to prevail. We have no faith that it will happen, but still we want it. Neither of us has given up on anything."

"Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough."

"Every time I call you mine, I feel like I'm forcing it, as if saying it can make it so. As if I'm reminding you, and reminding the universe: mine. As if that one word from me could have that kind of power."

"There are times when I'm alone that I think, This is it. This is actually the natural state. [...] I am myself, and that is the point. Pairing is a social construction.

I imagine you saved my life. And then I wonder if I'm just imagining it."

"The kiss I like the most is one of the slow ones. It's as much breath as touch, as much no as yes. You lean in from the side, and I have to turn a little to make it happen."

"Sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. [...] I would be overwhelmed by the evidence, by all the lines connecting you to me, and us to love."

"Even when I detach, I care. You can be separate from a thing and still care about it. If I wanted to detach completely, I would move my body away. I would stop the conversation midsentence. I would leave the bed. Instead I hover over it for a second. I glance off in another direction. But I always glance back at you."

"Would it have even been possible, if we'd met then?"

"I know it's because I'm swimming in your cadences, that you permeate my very language."

"This brief transcript of moments, written on the body, is so deeply satisfying to read.'

"I think we endure the banal [...] as a way of skirting around the bane."

You nodded. "Like I was a frog."
"And you caught the fly."
"yup. Swallowed it down. ..."
