“Till then I wasn't alive, I longed for you like the love sick moon pulls the tide”

“Like the earth pulling on the moon,and the moon pulling on the tide,his lips gravitatetoward mine.”

“When it’s just you and me, there will be fire in the air. Forget the moon. The ocean will pull to our magnetism. We’ll control the tides with our love.”

“One night when the moon was full, I explained to you about how the moon controls the tides, and you said I was like the moon and you were the sea, always following me about. And I said nothing, because I knew it was truly the other way around.”

“Now I am beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.”

“Even in the slippery blur of heat and arms and noise, Lena affected everything in her wake, a pull as powerful as the moon to the tides, or the planets to the sun. I was caught in her orbit, even as she pulled away from mine.”
