That’ll Be Our Song Quotes

“I don’t let anyone dull my sparkle because I’m enough for myself. I don’t care about people. I write my story and live my way. But Siddhartha cares about people, and I care about him.

“It was easier to trust Siddhartha when he was a stranger. It was easier to trust him when he didn’t talk to me. It was easier with the distance. On this trip, when things will be real, and he’ll be in close proximity, I will not be able to make him the dream angel of my life. On this trip, I’ll have to see the real him, whoever he is, maybe just the opposite of what I imagined, maybe abusive, or a fraud, or a pervert. I don’t know, but now I’m afraid maybe after this trip, when I’ll see the real him, maybe he’ll take away from me the whole idea of Siddhartha I have in my mind.”

“On October first, fifteen past eight. My heart was ringing, my soul was singing because he wasn’t just typing on the other side. He was writing on my heart with a permanent marker, in pink.”

“October first it was, fifteen past eight.
For twenty minutes my heart was ringing, my soul was singing. Because he was typing on the other side.
Just the hi, and hahaha. Silly, meaningless conversation, he didn’t even remember.
That was my happiest twenty minutes.
I stepped out of my house, got a haircut, I thought he’d like.
After three days when my face was fine, I scrolled through his page, looked for the things he liked.
Then I made a list of things to do, French class, swimming class, aerobics, and a road trip on November nineteen.

On October first, fifteen past eight. My heart was ringing, my soul was singing because he wasn’t just typing on the other side.
He was writing on my heart with a permanent marker, in pink.”

“It’s weird to be twenty-seven and still be believing in fairytales, but it feels normal. I don’t think I’ll be comfortable thinking through love, planning on it, and calculating the probability. That doesn’t mean I will not ugly up my house with practical things, or I won’t fight over laundry. I just think it’s such a strange thing for me to be in love with half my heart and all my brain.
I don’t want a dull and practical love life, much less a marriage.”
― Snehil Niharika, That’ll Be Our Song

“It didn’t talk about pretty lights, love, or shiny stars, but when he called me kid, it felt like somebody grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my OCD cycle. It was soothing, it was freedom. It was so weird. I felt like I had known him for years. I had become so weak from the inside that even the slightest word of comfort blew this intense emotion in me.

“When I write to you, I expect you to read that—my letters, and my songs, and the poems. But I know you’re not reading, so I hold nothing back. Between sleepless, lonely, and scary nights and sometimes even between the happiest nights.

“Until now, I haven’t had the best luck with Siddhartha. But every day before today, I was jealous of his girlfriends. I wondered if he would ever think of the girl who found him on the internet and wrote a book about it. Every day before today, I used to look at the bittersweet letters that he never read. And today, when I look back at that time, it feels nice. The guy who was just a daydream. Today he hugged me, and I have a Polaroid of us. It might be his worst, but it’s my storybook New Year’s Eve.

“My family and my friends… they’re okay. They make all my moments special. We are not always up to something, but sometimes we don’t see that it might be the last day with one of them. So I try to find fun in every moment. It’s easy for small towns. Our happiness is a new mall opening and a new museum. The train in the zoo, the book fair, and Disneyland. Everything is simple here, love and life. Simple and beautiful.
— Arya Kashyap”
