    Tashie Bhuiyan
    “Promises are meant to be broken, that’s what people always say, but what if I want to keep mine? To this day, I’d sooner break my bones
    than go back on any of the words I said
    so dearly to you. We’re so young, God, we’re so young. Only sixteen with a pocketful of big dreams. The world is in our hands, that’s what people always say, but what if I’m afraid to carry it? What if I don’t want to be Atlas? You, my dear, are unshakeable. You hold your cards close to your chest. Courage finds a home in the space between your ribs. I’m too young to understand, that’s what people always say, but I am old enough to see. There’s a forest fire in your eyes that sets me alight. A bravery in your heart that beats in tune to mine. My darling, you’re something out of a story. Poetry doesn’t begin to do your soul justice. Change is inevitable, that’s what people always say, but what if that change is good? There’s a lightness to my steps there wasn’t before. There’s a brightness in my heart there wasn’t before. If you held me up to a candle, my silhouette would be covered in your name. Before you, I used to care what people always say
    your lovely heart led me astray in unexpected ways. Sometimes I think I’m going to burst into flames. From the spark you struck inside my chest. I wonder, how do you keep from setting yourself afire? But then comes the startling yet undeniable understanding.
    You are fireproof, lionheart and now I am, too.”
    Tashie Bhuiyan, Counting Down with You

    “rain, rain go away
    come again another day...
    that's what they always say
    but what if you want rain to stay?
    being addicted to the storm
    wanting to see it transform
    I'm lightening, he's thunder
    my God, he's a wonder
    I'm quick, I'm fast, I glow
    and him?
    he follows me wherever I go”

    “I thought, this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, and I had better keep it a safe distance away from me. I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire.
    And then I was a careless fool, and I fell in love with you anyway. When you rang me at truly shocking hours of the night, I loved you. When you kissed me in disgusting public toilets and pouted in hotel bars and made me happy in ways in which it had never even occurred to me that a mangled-up, locked-up person like me could be happy, I loved you.
    And then, inexplicably, you had the absolute audacity to love me back. Can you believe it?
    Sometimes, even now, I still can't.”
    Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

    “Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees. You are laughter that breaks through sadness. You are the breeze on a too-war day. You are clarity in the midst of confusion.

    You are not the world, but you are everything that makes the world good. Without you, my life would still exist, but that's all it would manage to do.

    You said that to get things right one of us would have to take a leap of faith. I think I've discovered the canyon that must be leaped, and I hope to find you waiting for me on the other side.

    I love you, America.

    Yours forever,
    Maxon”

    Kiera Cass
    “In those seconds, I was mourning everything I'd lost. How I'd never get to see you walk down an aisle toward me, how I'd never get to see your face in our children, how I'd never get to see streaks of silver in your hair. But, at the same time, I couldn't be bothered. If me dying meant you living, how could that be anything but good?”
    Kiera Cass, The One
