“I keep thinking you already know. I keep thinking I’ve sent you letters that were only ever written in my mind.”

“And when I asked you how you’d been, I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before.”

“I have a list in my head of all the feelings I still want to feel before I die. And you have ticked so many things off that list.”

“The conversation between your fingers and someone else’s skin. This is the most important discussion you can ever have.”

“Sometimes I touch the things you used to touch, looking for echoes of your fingers.”

“If nothing else, one day you can look someone straight in the eyes and say “But I lived through it. And it made me who I am today.”

“Stop telling me to follow my heart. It once led me to you.”
