“I almost forget that she still hates me, despite how hard I've fallen for her.And I've fallen.So hard.I've hit the ground.”

“He looks away.And he smiles.Its the kind of smile that makes me forget how to do everything but blink and blink and I don't understand what's happening to me. I don't know why I cant convince my eyes to find something else to focus on.I don't know why my heart is losing its mind.”
