1 " I’ll come back to you.” “And you’ll marry me…” “In my heart I already have.” “And you’ll give us babies…” “I can’t wait to meet our children.” “And you’ll love me…” “I never stopped, and I never will. "

2 " Please don’t make me a bad memory. Let me be a good one. "
3 " I want all of you, regardless of the fact I deserve nothing from you. "
4 " How can one little thing destroy so much? "
5 " What do you want from me?” Tears fell down her cheeks as she pleaded for an answer. “I need to be close to you,” I admitted, feeling my lips tremble too. “Please let me be close to you.” I was twisting my fingers together, begging pathetically for something I didn’t deserve. "
6 " I want to talk to you, and I want you to talk to me. I want to touch you, and I want you to touch me too. I want to hold you.” I gave up hiding the tears, and when I blinked they ran down my cheeks. “I won’t look for pain from another man’s fist to release me from what hurts so much in my head. I’ll tell you what hurts instead. I won’t use sex with other women to hide from my pain. But I’ll give it to you if it’s what you need from me.” I walked up to her, and she just watched me. Her body looked rigid with tension, and I could see the tendons in her neck strained tight. I stood just in front of her, not willing to touch her until she gave me permission. “I want all of you, regardless of the fact I deserve nothing from you. Things can’t go on this way with us. It’s tearing me apart. I put myself in your life, because I wanted to see who you were now.” I shook my head as I stared off beside us for a moment. “I didn’t realize it would be so … powerful. Powerful enough I want to give it the chance to rewrite the direction of my life. "
7 " We deserve to go back and be us again. Not the us that came after that night. The us before. We were good for each other. I was good for you once—even if no one else in the world saw it or understood that.” She took a deep breath, but she still stared at my chest. “I need to be near you, and I don’t know what that looks like. But I do know I need it. Please give me another chance. "
8 " She stepped right up to me, gripped the sides of my waist with her hands, and let her forehead drop to my chest. “We’re going to be okay,” I said as I wrapped my arms around her. I had no doubt she could be okay all on her own without my presence in her life. But I also had no doubt I never would be without her. “We’re going to be okay,” I repeated. "
9 " I’ve missed you so fucking much,” he said quietly. “Nothing has made sense in my life without you. "
10 " You’re the brightest, warmest star in my universe,” I whispered. “You will never be less than everything to me. "
11 " I’m not good at much in this world.” Her brow furrowed. She didn’t like hearing me say that. She’d never liked it when I knocked myself down. “But I’m good at loving you, "
12 " Why is it so hard for you to believe you deserve to be happy?” He smirked, but the expression didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Because you’re not always around to reassure me. And you’re the only person in the world I would believe. "
13 " I want to be a part of you,” I whispered. “You are a part of me,” she whispered back. “You always have been. "
14 " I don’t want to treat you like a body, a thing, a sex toy to me. I don’t want to value you for what you can give me physically. Those are the things I’ve done that I’m not willing to do with you?” I focused on her eyes, my heart pounding. “I promise you don’t want me to be that man with you, because … he fucking sucks, and he’s pathetic. Think better of me, please. Let me be more for you. "
15 " Nothing else in the world that I’ve experienced has ever touched the importance of us to me. "
16 " Being hated by Hilde really makes me want to fuck her little sister in the bathroom of her own home. "
17 " Can’t we just forget about the monsters,” he whispered, his lips touching and teasing my earlobe. “All I want is to remember us. "
18 " People as a whole see a limited scope of the world, chained to their notions, often misguided notions, of what truth is. Seeking something more, I would argue, is the very act of unchaining oneself from the cave wall. "
19 " We’re going to be okay. "
20 " Helene, why did you even choose this field of study? Philosophy? The thing is, you double majored in psychology and philosophy in your undergraduate studies, but then you chose to pursue your doctorate in philosophy rather than psychology. There’s a reason for that.”“Because, I like…” I scratched my head as I let myself drop back into the sofa cushions, and then I sighed. “I like that nothing is black and white. I like that I can let my mind go and explore even the most basic of concepts as though my thoughts and feelings are as important as… as… Schopenhauer and Hume. I don’t have to accept that there’s a right and wrong answer. I can believe and feel that there are so many more shades of truth. "
