“It's okay not to love us. " I kept my face buried in my pillow, yet my ears were on full alert. "And I'm not going to say that I love you, because I haven't known you long enough to feel that way.

You must allow yourself to leave,
Even if breaking your own heart
Is what it takes to let you breathe.”
