Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’m not sure what parts of me are him and which parts are genuinely my own. And I want to know. I want to know myself, to test my edges and see where I stop and the rest of the world begins.
His face remains deeply, painfully earnest. “I don’t want you to move away. I like you.� “You like everyone,� I remind him. “I’m highly replaceable.�
Waiting, for someone who rarely came, feeling worse every time, until finally, I realized that the feelings wouldn’t stop until the waiting did. You can’t force a person to show up, but you can learn a lesson when they don’t. Trust people’s actions, not their words. Don’t love anyone who isn’t ready to love you back. Let go of the people who don’t hold on to you. Don’t wait on anyone who’s in no rush to get to you.
He holds my hips tight and bucks to meet me hard and deep, and I’ve never felt anything quite like this before. Like there’s no boundary between us, like he’s in my mind and heart and soul, and I want to keep him there even as I know this moment can’t last.
