You know everyone loves to hate a happy pair of lovebirds.

Gorgeous, glowing rays of light...This was what true beauty and goodness looked like-- a spectral, luminescent gathering of beings so pure it hurt to look directly at them, like the most glorious eclipse, or maybe Heaven itself.

I know nothing. I know no one. I'm lonely. Every time I see you, you've put up some new wall, and you never let me in.

She liked the way he smelled - kind of free and open, like driving with the windows down at night.

I will always catch you when you fall
