“Because when you have someone in your life that is more addicting than any drug or substance could ever be, I mean, those drugs and those substances have no actual use anymore. They can’t get you high in the way that that person does. Caspian Marks he... he gave me that high. Nothing in the world I could try was any bit comparable to that.”

“He watched me. He didn’t move, he didn’t flinch, he didn’t try and act like he was watching the stars. And when he got caught, he didn’t even care. He watched me, anyway. And the stars that were in his eyes flowed over to mine and journeyed across my skin and streamed through my veins and made me feel like a star myself. It was at that moment I knew I’d be okay. That that would be my future in days to come and for eternity. And I was okay with it.”

“Hold on, Brantley. Do not throw your life out of the window. You are broken now, maybe, yeah. You are broken and life feels like it is slipping through the tip of your fingers, and maybe that is because you are letting it, and maybe it is not. But who is to say that tomorrow will not be better? Who is to say that tomorrow will not be the best day of your life? You would never know because you would have already given it up. So hold on, Brantley Thornton. Hold on.”

“Do I need to rip out my heart and replace it with yours so you can feel my love, Brantley Thornton? You will finally see how my heart beats and dances and leaps out of my chest... for you. Do I need to do it? Because I will. Right here, right now. I will do anything to show you that you are loved. I would do anything to make you feel some sort of love.” And I did. I did feel some sort of love. I felt his.”

“And her eyes, they were still as crystal blue as they were when I met her, and I was sure, as blue as they were when she first came onto this earth. Her eyes were a light in this world, beaming and full, and they continued to burn brightly. The only time they would dare to diminish themselves of their light was when she lay her head to rest eternally.”

“With him coming here, he has been able to be at ease again. His heart could finally rest from being constantly tortured. If he hadn’t met you, I gotta tell you, Brantley. I still think his heart would be in need of repair, and I think he would still have open, severed wounds. With meeting you, I think his wounds have finally been closed.”

“I looked into his eyes, and I wish I hadn’t. Because they held this... aching compassion and this nagging fragility. And the way his arms brushed against mine, I could feel tenderheartedness and I could feel... lenity. I could feel all of these things that I hadn’t felt within myself for a long time. But I felt them around Caspian Marks.”

“This universe is... endless. And... and boundless. This world holds endless opportunities that are always on the horizon. Endless places to see. Endless people to meet and get to know, Brantley Thornton. And you are telling me, that within this endless universe, you are worried that you lack a purpose now that your mother no longer stands beside you? This universe is endless, Brantley Thornton, and I think you should take every advantage you can of that.”

“Caspian Marks, like it was the most natural, instinctive thing to do in the entire world, like he had done it a million times before and would do it a million times more if he had to; without hesitation... he caught me. He caught me like I was meant to fall into his arms. Like that was where I should’ve been all along, and if I wanted to, where I could fall into for the rest of my life.”

“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.”

“I know he loved me. I know that he wanted to save me. But if you loved someone so much, you could love them enough to allow them to go. Right? That’s how love works. It may tear you apart and rip you to shreds, but you still do it and allow whatever to happen, anyway. You have to accept it, heartbreak or not. You need to face it, tears or not. You must stand up and move on and do the things that you are fated to do. Caspian Marks was fated to do a lot of things; a lot of great things that were never set out for me.”

“He ran his hands down my hair. He put his head on top of mine and said, “Someday, I think you would have looked back at this very moment and realized how strong you truly were. I think you would have realized how capable you were of getting past this. It may have not been soon, Brantley Thornton, but I promise you, I promise you, it would have been one day. This is just a chapter of your life, Brantley. Not your entire story. But you have to get through this part to be able to see the rest.” I grabbed his hands and I traced my thumb over the places where ridges and bumps and calluses should have been and then I drew his hands to my chest, to feel my then beating heart. Tears dripped and poured down my face and I didn’t dare to wipe them. And I told him, “I do not have one day.”

“His love for me, it was... boundless. And at times, it was baffling and concerning, really, how easily he could have loved such a heart and soul like mine. A damaged, fragile one, that is; when his, on the contrary, was authentically pure and whole. And yet, despite being polar opposites, our hearts were the same. They were made in the same cast, beat at the same pace, leaped and danced whenever in each other’s presence. It seemed like they beat for one another.”

“I could just... feel it. I could feel my soul intertwining with his, finding a home in his presence. I could feel my heart skipping a beat, trying to spring out of my chest to chase after him, to love his heart in return the same way that he did mine. I could feel the universe fighting for us, fighting for us to be, pushing us together, even when I wanted to be as far away from him as possible. I could feel it. I could feel everything, even though it was simply asomatous. Despite lacking physicality, his love could not be denied by one who had eyes to see the sight and feel the aura of what was right in front of them.”

“All I could’ve wished was that more people told you you were worth being loved, I really do. You still are, even now that you’ve passed and are longer gone than I’d like to come to terms with. And it is because of your worthiness of love that I will continue loving you until I take my very last breath. But this is not our goodbye, Brantley Thornton. Because I know I will simply see you in the stars later on.”

“She is deserving of many things in this world, Caspian Marks. Including such a phenomenal man as yourself. But she is also deserving of someone who will make her world light up, when she thought she would see absolutely none again. So if you cannot brighten up her world, do not enter it and allow it to become any dimmer than it already is. You love her, and you love her hard. And you take care of her, especially when she cannot take care of herself.”
