“Maybe love shouldn’t be built on a foundation of compromises, but maybe it can’t exist without them either. Not the kind that forces two people into shapes they don’t fit in, but the kind that loosens their grips, always leaves room to grow.

No matter where we go, our love will stretch out to hold us, and that makes me feel like … like everything will be okay.”

“Our souls were tied a long time ago, I think. We’re just finally admitting it to each other.”
