And I learned a long time ago:
If you wear wonder like a weapon,
the world won't notice when it wounds.”

“Do you know what it means to shine for the dying? To bottle your own guilt and call it salvation? I was never the hero. I was the bait.”

“You took the part of him
that still believed
in something more than pain—
and dressed it up in pixie dust
so you could pretend
you gave him peace.
You don't get to twist that into legend.
You don't get to wrap your hunger
in fairy dust and dusk
and call it rescue.”

“One day, you will feel what it means to miss someone
so hard you unravel. To feel them in places that never felt haunted before. I hope it haunts you the way it haunts me.”
