“You hold me without touch, keep me without chains, never wanted anything so much, then to drown in your love, and not feel your rain”

“I'll break your chains; so sing, Takuto. As loud and as much as you want. You don't have to hold back anything.”

“If I could touch anything in the world right now, it would be your heart. I want to take that piece of you and keep it with me.”

“I love you so much, I think there are burn marks on my heart.” Blake touched his chest.“Do they hurt?”“Only when I’m not holding you.”“Hold me always then. I’m yours.”

“I want you, Delilah Anne. Never doubt that. I want a life with you. With your voice and your touch and your thoughts and your arguments. I want your grace and your mistakes and your promises and your everything, all twisted up with mine. I want it so bad that I feel like I can’t breathe whenever I think about being without you.”

“I could not imagine living away from Sevenwaters, away from all that was so much a part of me. Maybe, if you cared enough about someone, you could do it and not feel your spirit torn in two. But the forest keeps her hold on all those who are born there, and they cannot travel far without the yearning in them to return.”
