    “He came up and kissed me on my forehead, and before he stepped away, I closed my eyes and tried hard to memorize this moment. I wanted to remember him exactly as he was right then, how his arms looked brown against his white shirt, the way his hair was cut a little too short in the front. Even the bruise, there because of me.

    Then he was gone.

    Just for that moment, the thought that I might never see him again… it felt worse than death. I wanted to
    run after him. Tell him anything, everything. Just don’t go. Please just never go. Please just always be near me, so I can at least see you.

    Because it felt final. I always believed that we would find our way back to each other every time. That no matter what, we would be connected—by our history, by this house. But this time, this last time, it felt final. Like I would never see him again, or that when I did, it would be different, there would be a mountain between us.

    I knew it in my bones. That this time was it. I had finally made my choice, and so had he. He let me go. I was relieved, which I expected. What I didn’t expect was to feel so much grief.

    Bye bye, Birdie.
    Jenny Han, We'll Always Have Summer

    “We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing. But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything. In his eyes, there was no trace of what had happened between us earlier and I could feel something inside me break.
    So that was that. We were finally, finally over.
    I looked at him, and I felt so sad, because this thought occurred to me: 'I will never look at you the same way again. I'll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.'
    I couldn’t even be mad at him, because this was who he was. This was who he’d
    always been. He’d never lied about that. He gave and then he took away. I felt it in the pit of my stomach, the familiar ache, that lost, regretful feeling only he could give me. I never wanted to feel it again. Never, ever.
    Maybe this was why I came, so I could really know. So I could say good-bye.
    I looked at him, and I thought, 'If I was very brave or very honest, I would tell him.'
    I would say it, so he would know it and I would know it, and I could never take it back. But I wasn’t that brave or honest, so all I did was look at him. And I think he knew anyway.
    'I release you. I evict you from my heart. Because if I don't do it now, I never will.'
    I was the one to look away first.”
    Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without You

    “And no matter what you do or how hard you try, you can’t stop
    yourself from dreaming.”
    Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without You

  • #29
    “That's when I finally got it. I finally understood. It wasn't the thought that counted. It was the actual execution that mattered, the showing up for somebody. The intent behind it wasn't enough. Not for me. Not anymore. It wasn't enough to know that deep down, he loved me. You had to actually say it to somebody, show them you cared. And he just didn't. Not enough.”
    Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without You

  • #30
    “How do you regret one of the best nights of your entire life? You don't. You remember every word, every look. Even when it hurts, you still remember.”
