    Edna St. Vincent Millay
    “I know I am but summer to your heart,
    And not the full four seasons of the year;
    And you must welcome from another part
    Such noble moods as are not mine, my dear.
    No gracious weight of golden fruits to sell
    Have I, nor any wise and wintry thing;
    And I have loved you all too long and well
    To carry still the high sweet breast of Spring.
    Wherefore I say: O love, as summer goes,
    I must be gone, steal forth with silent drums,
    That you may hail anew the bird and rose
    When I come back to you, as summer comes.
    Else will you seek, at some not distant time,
    Even your summer in another clime.”
    ― Edna St. Vincent Millay, Collected Poems

    John Green
    “I'm in love with you," he said quietly.

    "Augustus," I said.

    "I am," he said. He was staring at me, and I could see the corners of his eyes crinkling. "I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
