“When you died I mourned you, but also the version of myself I was with you.”
― Gus Moreno, This Thing Between Us

“In your place, if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don't snuff it out, don't be brutal with it. Withdrawal can be a terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we'd want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything-what a waste!”
― André Aciman, Call Me By Your Name

“But we still worked together somehow, like two different animals that learned to hunt as a team. You were you and I was me and there was this thing between us.”
― Gus Moreno, This Thing Between Us

“Then over late-night dinners, this boy and I destroyed each other with words so cruel and careful they made a kind of poetry. We sanded each other down until we practically shone. But eventually we were so broken that all it took was one touch of tenderness for him to betray me. it could have happened to me, too, but broken men are much more appealing than broken women. Broken men inspire longing. Broken women are just looking to get kicked further down the drain.”
