this book is not working for me. Maybe we dont share the same meaning. :(

I don't like finishing books in one day. Especially ones that I want to last longer.

I am really excited to read this book! =)

This is AMAZING eep! I'm sad that it's so short, it's really fun to read with a dictionary by my side. Savoring the rest for tomorrow.

Finishing this maybe later tonight. Legit.

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.

We have fallen through the surface of want and are deep in the trenches of need

And still, for all the jealousy, all the doubt, sometimes I will be struck with a kind of awe that we're together. That someone like me could find someone like you - it renders me wordless. Because surely words would conspire against such luck, would protest the unlikelihood of such a turn of events... Then, later on, 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.

I still don't know if this is a good quality or a bad one, to be able to be in the moment and then step out of it.

I just need to know that nobody's reading over my shoulder, about to ask me what I'm writing. I want to sequester this one part of me from everyone else. I want the act to be a secret, even if the words can only hold themselves secret for so long.

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

There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you're in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.

You have the ability to talk to anyone, which is an ability I do not share.

I love the vagueness of words that involve time.

People often say that when couples are married for a long time, they start to look alike. I don't believe that. But I do believe their sentences start to look alike.

Some of the entries have been cut off in this file - namely "Guise" and "Latitude" so far. I'll have to check my home copy to see if it's the file or if it got weird in the transfer.

Cute :D

"I will be the one to leave you" - you whispered it to me as a warning. Fifth date? Sixth date?

I was sure in my heart that you were wrong. I was sure I'd be the one to kill it. But I kept that belief to myself.

Semakin lama membacanya, penuturan David Levithan ini makin serupa dengab Aan Mansyur. Intim dan puitis.

Mulanya, kening ini berkwrut-kerut memahami kata-kata penulis. Dua lembar, empat lembar berlalu tapi belum mengerti juga. Oleh karenanya, hati pun dibiarkan untuk merasa lebih banyak. Hati pun tak pernah salah mengindrai sesuatu yang diciptakan dengan hati.

estoy leyendo esto en inglés así que no creo terminarlo pronto...

"Perhaps it happened while I was asleep. Most likely, there's no signal event. There's just the steady accumulation of awhile." <3 <3

This is written in such a refreshingly different, wonderfully fragmented way. It's safe to say I'm enjoying it so far.

"My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I thought would go wrong, I never thought it would be that.
'It was a mistake,' you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you."

I started crying on page 6 omg its so beautiful

Yearning - at the core of this desire is the belief that everything can be perfect

Stanchion - I don't want to be the strong one, but I don't want to be the weak one, either.why does it feel like it's always one or the other?
