“Love shouldn't make you feel like that. It should be as natural as breathing. It should happen between two people because it grew there out of something beautiful.”

“What is it?" I asked breathlessly. "I love you so much. Sometimes it hurts.""I don't want it to hurt, Clay. Our love should make you feel wonderful.”

“You're right, baby. We began out of something ugly. But what we became was something beautiful. I just wish I could make you see that.”

“This is what love was supposed to feel like.This perfect immersion of two people who were ready and willing to become a part of each other.”

“It matters to me, Mays. It matters a lot. I don't like seeing some other guy touching you. Not when it should be me touching you”

“When you're in a room, Maggie, all I see is you. You make everything better. Clearer. You stop the crazy noise in my head. I can think, hell, I can breathe when we're together What you make me feel is the most unbelievable and scary thing I've ever felt.”

“Cloud walking. I like that. And yeah, that's exactly how you make me feel. Like my feet will never touch the ground.”
