“Years from now, I will say that tonight was the night I knew she was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. This is about more than her body, her tanned skin, her perfect mouth. I am in love with her blood, with her smell, with intangible things that I will never hold: her laugh, her anger, her soul. She kisses me, and she has a thousand reasons to be upset with me, but tonight, she is not upset. She just keeps saying, 'I love you, I love you, I love you, in this life, and the next and the last.”
― Chloe Michelle Howarth, Sunburn

“To look at her would ruin me, and still, for one brave and guiltless second, I turn to look at her. All of her. And I see that her sunlight is still blooming. With or without me, she will go on blooming, she will always be a glorious thing. I would rather lose everything than lose her.”

“You must let me
go first, Sue, because
I live in the Sea
always and know
the Road –
I would have drowned
twice to save
you sinking, dear,
If I could only
have covered your
Eyes so you would’nt
have seen the Water –”

“I want to be with her. She is the first and last thing that I want, but she is not the only thing. And there are so many more things that she wants, and so many more things that she deserves, but I am the only thing that she has left.”
