“You are not the getaway car You are not the softest bed. You are not the answer sheet You are not the heavy jacket. You are not the door prize I get to win for the Most Busted-Up Heart. You are not my next morning so you can't be the night before. You are not any metaphor that can work.”

“I missed all the things loneliness taught me: eyes that follow you crossing a room, hands that find their home on you. To be noticed, even. In my defense, his hands. In my defense, his arms. In my defense, how when we just sat listening to each other breathe, he said 'This is enough.'”
