“I loved the way his brain worked. How he was always trying to play devil's advocate--to see and appreciate sides that were not his own. And I loved how stubborn he was--steadfast. His confidence sometimes felt like a bulldozer, but other times it felt like a foundation--like I was tethered to something that could not possibly bend or snap or break. His personality made me feel safe, being in his orbit was like being inside the sun--the rays couldn't harm me, all I felt was the warmth of proximity.”

“I like thinking that I'd be worth the trouble of something like that. I like thinking that it doesn't need to be fancy to be special. Maybe they'd remember I like fountain soda best or daisies instead of roses. Little things that'd let me know they've been paying attention. I like that. Thinking I'm worth paying attention to. Something ordinary made extraordinary by the person you're sharing it with. That's the sort of date I'd want.”

“I loved you once. It was a love so powerful, so mighty Yet so tender, so ethereal, so genuine, A love which, at the time, I believed Had circumstances been different, It would have been extraordinaryanan A love so passionate, I would willingly die for you If I had to. Because your life Means more to me than mine. I believed you also loved me once In the same way, with the same passion. I believed our love Was from another time, That it was an eternal love, Where with each rebirth, We would reencounter each other again, That your love for me was so mighty, You would also give your life for me. I was wrong... As much as I would have taken The blade of a sword for you That you would live, I realised you would never Do the same for me. You love yourself more than you love me. I would sacrifice my life for you, But you would not do so for me. That if only one of us could stay on the boat, You would push me off for self preservation. So I will make my ultimate sacrifice. You don't need to push me off. I am jumping off the vessel so you will live. Because both you and I agree Your life is worth more than mine. But in jumping, I'm taking back my love for you. You can't have it anymore. Because you shan't have it both ways. My love for you dies with me at the bottom Of the sea.”
