21 " Then he kissed me. It wasn’t lewd, or wet, or a promise of more to come. It was a gentle press of his lips to mine. A sharing of skin, emotion, and empathy, which I absorbed as if it was a painkiller. "

22 " She was my first in every way, in a way that messed up something fundamental inside me when I realized we weren’t going to be each other’s last. "
23 " We were the breeze that ruffled the dandelions. The sun that scorched our skin red until we searched for reprieve under our favorite willow tree. And underneath the stretch of dark skies, we were each other’s stars. "
24 " Your every first was mine to keep, and I threw it away when it all collapsed around us. "
25 " A tear snaked its way down my cheek as I smiled at her and repeated her earlier words. “You and me, we’re going to be friends. "

32 " Afterward, with our limbs tangled, we gazed up at the night sky, naming stars until our bodies demanded to become one, and we gave in all over again. "
33 " You and me … like the moon and the stars "
34 " You and me … like the moon and the stars. "
35 " Ouch. Say it, don’t shank me with it. "
36 " Maybe you didn’t always need to try to capture beauty. Sometimes, you simply needed to experience it, "
37 " without the stars, the moon is left alone to battle the dark. "
