“It was not in me It came and wentI wanted to hold it It was held by wine(I no longer know what it was)”

“And I want to be held down. I don't know what to do with the horrifying freedom that can destroy me.”

“I don't know what the future holds. I only know that I want to be with you. You and me. Everything else is negotiable.”

“I want to take her into my arms and hold her tight. But at the same time, I know that is the exact opposite of what she wants. She wants to be free, and all I want is to hold her tight against me. ~ Elder”

“I didn’t know whether it was the wine or the night air that held its sway over me, but I felt alive. I looked up at Beau’s cloudy gray eyes and wondered what he was thinking. At the time, I imagined he was thinking what I was; that I was wrong about everything.If love exists, this is what it feels like.”

“I wanted him to hold me, to take care of me. To make the pain dissolve away. I know that this was part of what had ruined everything but I wanted it once more anyway.”
