“There are people who don't have to pretend or be anything other than themselves. And I feel like, I'm walking around trying on a hundred different versions of myself.”

“I feel not so myself at the moment. Not in a bad way. I just feel outside of my life somehow.”

“I'm never lonely when I'm with you.”

“Yeah, that was kind of a perfect time in my life to be honest. I don't think I was ever really happy before then.”

“Being alone with her is like opening a door away from normal life and then closing it behind him.”

“We see the world in a similar way.”

“Marianne, he said, I'm not a religious person but I do sometimes think God made you for me.”

“We could be in a room full of people and my eyes would always meet his, just to find that he had already been looking.”

“It's not like this with other people.”

I turn away

and close my heart—

to the promise of love

that is luring.

For the past has taught

to not be caught,

in what is not

worth pursuing—

To never do

the things I’ve done

that once had led

to my undoing.
