“I know when I get real with myself, and I actually look at the world I’m growing up in, I want a savior. I’m sure of that. On most days I could not tell you what coffee I want, what train I want to take, or the jacket I want to wear, but I’ve always ached for a savior. The kind who gets right up close to your face and says, “Babycakes, this ain’t your battle. Stand back, I’m here now.”

“It’s always in those moments when you’ve shunned God, or you’ve gone ahead as if you don’t need Him, that you find yourself crawling back with pathetic little attempts to get His attention because suddenly you’re weak and you need to convince yourself you’re not alone on the bathroom floor.”

Eventually, when it wins, it means we never got the courage to say what we needed to say. But the words are needed. They won’t always fix things or mend things or make things better. They won’t bring someone back. They won’t stop a good-bye. They won’t be perfect. But they’ll be true. And maybe that is all we have ever needed from one another: true words written with a love that feels too big to pin down to a page with measly little syllables.”
