Quote by Braelyn Wilson

“I didn’t know how else to say it other than it seemed like I saved him from crumbling. For as long as I was in his arms, it was like the world around him could be crumbling, but he wouldn’t be. He would be safe, he would be untouchable, he would be all right.”

“Caspian Marks was the sun, too. He was the person who was bright and beaming, lightened up the world of everyone around him, even those who did not truly regard him; because he was always there, and his warmth was always constant. He outshined everyone without ever trying. Had no competition that could compete with his luminescence and energy. His heart was grand and his soul was the most radiant thing about him—he made sure of it. His eyes, they even shined, too. And others would, without a doubt, if not already, revolve their life around him. Their world would turn... because of him; he’d help them spin it. They would go on and have the ability to, because of him; he’d help them through it. Caspian Marks... he was the sun.”

“Fate may have thrown something in your way and touched you. It may have touched your heart, it may have touched your soul, it may have touched your mother and her short-lived, beautiful life, and it may have ruined you, but you are not ruined forever, Brantley Thornton. Fate may have thrown this tragic event in your way, but it also sent me. I think fate sent me to save you.”

“You loved your mother, Brantley Thornton. That is not something that will just go away. That grief... it is going to stay with you for some time, if not forever. And it may hurt. It may break you. But it also shows that you have loved. It shows that you have loved, so strongly. Because if you did not, you would not be able to hurt so strongly. It hurts, but it is beautiful to know that you have loved someone the amount that you did. As courageously as you did. As fiercely... as you did. That you loved someone with everything you had in you.”

“The past is entirely changeless. You cannot fix what has happened or alter situations to the outcome of your liking, because that is not life. Life is not always fair, nor courteous. It never has been. So no, you cannot change your past, but you can change yours, and someone else’s, future. Time will mend everything, Brantley Thornton. You just have to consciously choose, every day, even through the hardships and obstructions, to be patient.”

“Caspian Marks, he... he is a lot of things. He was made to mean something, to be someone, to move mountains, touch the moon, and explore the deep blue seas. He was made to become someone extraordinary. So don’t you dare let him be stripped of that potential, and help him see his potential if needs it. Sometimes he will, sometimes he won’t. And if at any time you ever need the reminder, he may be a lot of things, but Caspian Marks will never be a heartbreaker. He is not meant to break hearts.” Caspian Marks was a lot of things. He was irritating and brave and calculative and helpful and articulate and beautiful and funny in his own way. He was a lot of things, Caspian Marks, but out of all the things he was out of the many things in the world he could be, he was a lover. He was a lover, and he loved me.”
