“One day, I might perhaps become something so small and insignificant to you that you only think of me as often as you think of the little particles of dust that you can see floating around the window in the late afternoon sun. If I'm lucky enough, you'll think of me as often as never thinking of me again at all.”

“There are no words for some things. They just are whatever they are, and most of the time they go without saying. Often times we try to attach a word to something, a name, some sort of a definition. We sort of strip the essence of that thing in the process; we tie it down and restrict it from being something else because we have defined it as one particular thing. Sometimes, something is everything and nothing at the same time.”

“I watched my best friend fall in love with the same girl a million times in the same minute. She had vivid eyes, a warm smile, and a streak of purple in her hair. They were too drunk to notice I was watching; I was too sober to not realize what was happening. Someone kept cutting off the oxygen in the room every time their faces got close. But I knew if it were for just a few more inches, they would have kissed. I also knew that it was because of the fact that she had a boyfriend that they didn't. Even I could feel his heart racing as she licked off the birthday cake icing off his right cheek. I saw his eyes light up; it was much more than the effects of inebriation. There was suddenly a different kind of gravity present in the room. And I then I realized: The same forces that bring two people together are the same ones that pull them apart. But I knew from the way he looked at her. I knew what he felt. I knew how much she meant to him. And in that moment, I finally understood. Because that's the exact same way I look at you. (I have learned to see gravity; it is the colour of your skin.)”

We sort of strip the essence of that thing in the process; we tie it down and restrict it from being something else because we have defined it as one particular thing. Sometimes, something is everything and nothing at the same time. But at any given point, it is still something. There is no real word for the way I feel for you. I could never express it in words. But every now and then, I'll try.”

“If your father asks to know my personal qualifications I will tell him that if your smile was water I would dig a well for miles into the earth, with my bare hands and that if your laughter were music, I strive to be your conductor and that if your happiness were a movie I would spend my entire life working to become an award winning director that if your sadness were a global tragedy I would devise ways to come up with a solution worth the merit of the Nobel Peace Prize And if still, your father is unsatisfied I will tell him that I love you and that I know nothing else ”

“Spring We found spring in winter in a parking lot in the suburb and later that night we half-slept half listened, and half spoke but somehow we both felt whole In that moment, I could feel a bed of flowers blooming from within my chest And in a state of complete renewal of all faiths restored and composures regained I swear I never breathed sweeter air ”
