You only really fall apart in front of the people you know can piece you back together.

Just when I thought that I didn't have any weakness, you happened. <3

WHY did she do this? She was a terrible drunk texter. All the things she wanted to say to people during the day came out at night, like a vampire.

There is nothing like young love. It comes at a time before the heart knows to protect itself, when everything important is raw and exposed - the perfect environment for a soul-sucking, heart-crushing...

When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred.

You know I meant it. I am human. And male. And not remotely blind. Do you want me to say it again? You are distractingly, even if - that - is - not - a - real - word pretty. You are so pretty that I...

I shudder, I see the love, I'm doomed, my heart melts again - can't stand not to be in love, can't stand not to be melting with real tenderness, childlike need sweetnesses, that's what's wrong with...

I'm sorry I kissed you - it was selfish and it upset you - but you can't ask me to pretend I didn't want to.

It was unnerving. She'd looked at him and had the uncontrollable urge to weep. Thus far she'd managed to control her emotions. Thank God. She didn't even want to imagine what he would think of her if...

She would be no one if that was what it took. No one had no holes inside her.

Has my tale turned you speechless? Come, curse me or kiss me or call me a liar. Something.

The shock of standing again under the wide pale sky, completely exposed. This must be what the oyster feels when the lemon juice falls.

Tell me about our legal issues. And use small words. I don't like to think at this hour of the morning. It hurts.~Leo to Merripen

She looked up at him with a smile. The smile broke what was left of his resistance - shattered it. He had let the walls down when he'd thought she was gone, and there was no time to build them back...

And a strong man, she said. Strong enough to be vulnerable, to take risks, to be honest even when honesty might expose him to ridicule or rejection. And someone who would put himself at the center of...

I know girls aren't supposed to tell, but I've got to tell - just in case you should fail to love me because you never knew how much I loved you. I want not to have to say later - I wish I'd told him.

"You know–my flower, I am responsible for her. She doesn't even have four thorns to protect herself from harm." {Zarek}...

He wasn't looking for perfection, just someone who could make him feel secure enough to show his insecurity beside her.

I ground my teeth as I bit back words I knew would hurt. That was the danger with knowing and loving others. You always knew things about them to throw back in their faces.

I I know where it is, she thought. Then she whipped around and said loudly, But I need your help. Stacy blushed. She had said the words loud enough that everyone in the great room had turned to look...

May I please tell you something, Highness? You're very cold - I'm not - very cold and very young, and if you live, I think you'll turn to hoarfrost - Why do you pick at me? I have come to terms with...

I don't really like driving in the snow. There's something about the motion of the falling snowflakes that hurts my eyes, throws my sense of balance all to hell. It's like tumbling into a field of...

In the Dream they are Buck Rogers, Prince Aragorn, an entire race of Skywalkers. To awaken them is to reveal that they are an empire of humans and, like all empires of humans, are built on the...

Red was smiling back at me. "Ok. I'm not in trouble. But tell me your heart didn't start beating for the first time in a month." I couldn't deny it. So I didn't.

She reached for Matty and embraced him. Ordinarily uncomfortable with hugs, he would have stiffened his shoulders and drawn back; but now, from exhaustion and affection, he held Kira and to his own...

I know what you're thinking. Maybe a fifteen-year-old girl had stolen my phone and was texting those things to you. I'd love to say it's true, but I'd be lying. Please don't think I'm crazy. I mean I...

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light; I would spread the cloths under your...

you used to do that. If you hid your face, you thought we couldn't see you just because you couldn't see us.

Look, if some guy dressed in his mother's clothes breaks in, fight him off until I get my pants back on.

She had not planned to weep - it was the last thing from her mind, a display of mawkish weakness - but she could not help it.
