Dear Ex Quotes

“People tell me that watching us was like watching a bunny get devoured by a wolf. But wolves only belong one place – in the wild. You will never again have the chance to destroy me with that smile. I will leave every bridge burned, and every stone turned, and you will never find your way back to me. I will crack every compass, and cover my tracks, and you will never be able to find me. You are a lost boy and I am a true north, and you will never be able to find me.”
― B.A. Perry, Dear Ex

“It ended so abruptly, without warning, you didn’t even give me the chance to be ready. And that made me wonder: what is want? Is it always fleeting? Who is want? Does he leave once he’s satisfied? Where does want go? Is it to new hands, new lips, new breasts?”

“We were perfectly placed, perfectly disposed to one another. Our pieces fit so well together, not in the way that puzzle pieces are carved to click, but in a clumsier, more accidental way; we were a city skyline – unplanned architectural mastery. Designed by the heavens, and you called me your angel – even when I was undeserving of that accolade. You’d call yourself the devil and I’d feel betrayed. Because for me, we were the same, either two sinners or two saints.”
