“I’m not still in love with you or anything but sometimes when I hear a certain song or drive past my high school, I feel like I’m sixteen years old in a homecoming dress, and we’re laughing about boys over our watered down punch. I feel your head slipping down onto my exposed shoulder and I still don’t want to move. Look, I want you to know this doesn’t change anything.”

“I was afraid to change, but that’s not an excuse to stay.”

“You carved your name into the bark of my heart. Do you see why I had to cut off parts of me in order to grow again?”

“Liebe ist nicht vom ersten Moment an da, sie wächst bei jedem Kuss, bei jeder Berührung, bei jedem Streit und jeder Versöhnung.”

“I pushed everyone else away because they weren’t you.”
