“Flickering lights
anonymous doors
my heart escaping in drips
i'm still waking up
but she's still sleeping
this ICU is
hotel for the dead”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Linger

“a life is measured by moments like these”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

“I missed the sound of her shuffling her homework while I listened to music on her bed.
I missed the cold of her feet against my legs when she climbed into bed.
I missed the shape of her shadow where it fell across the page of my book.
I missed the smell of her hair and the sound of her breath and my Rilke on her nightstand and her wet towel thrown over the back of her desk chair.
It felt like I should be sated after having a whole day with her, but it just made me miss her more.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Linger

“Wake me up
Wake me up, you said

But I was sleeping, too
I was dreaming

But now I"m waking up
Still waking up

I can see the sun”
― Maggie Stiefvater, Forever
