Romance

"He then put both hands on the door on either side of my head and leaned in close, pinning me against it. I trembled like a downy rabbit caught in the clutches of a wolf. The wolf came closer. He bent his head and began nuzzling my cheek. The problem was…I wanted the wolf to devour me."

"Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly."

"Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come! And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes!"

"Whatever happened to the dragon"I mustered my primmest tone. "He has a name, you know."Adrian pulled back and gave me a curious look. "I didn't know, actually. What'd you decide on"Hopper." When Adrian laughed, I added, "Best rabbit ever. He'd be proud to know his name is being passed on."Yes, I'm sure he would. Did you name the Mustang too"I think you mean the Ivashkinator."He stared at me in wonder. "I told you I loved you, right"Yes," I assured him. "Many times."

"Shut up…let me tell you, LET ME. Every time I look at your face or even remember it, it wrecks me. And the way you are with me and you’re just fun and you shit all over me and you make fun of me and you’re real. I don’t have enough time in any day to think about you enough... I don’t even think about women anymore. I think about you."

"Love is a rebellious bird that nobody can tame."

"I crossed a thousand leagues to come to you, and lost the best part of me along the way. Don't tell me to leave."

"When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your pretty without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing his will to live, who kisses you when you screw up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you marry him all over again."

"You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul."

"It was the nicest thing she could imagine. It made her want to have his babies and give him both of her kidneys."

"A girl can still admire, can’t she? Even those who can’t afford to go in the store can still window-shop. Right? Knowing he wasn’t for me didn’t mean I couldn’t covet the merchandise."

"I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am."

"What are you doing?”“Kneeling before a goddess.”“I’m not a goddess.”“You are. A goddess, a princess, a queen. As a soldier, I pledge myself to your service. As a prince, I grant you any boon within my power. As a man, I ask to sit at your feet and worship you. Ask me to do anything for you and I will do it."

"Cut the ending. Revise the script. The man of her dreams is a girl."

"Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot."

"But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day."

"Know that love is truly timeless."

"Were you always such a stubborn, blind, obtuse girl?”“Are you calling me stupid?”“Yes, but in a more poetic way!”“Well, here’s a poem for you. Get lost!"

"That night when you kissed me, I left a poem in your mouth, and you can hear some of the lines every time you breathe out."

"Relationships are all about trust and equality. If one person shares, then the other person should share, too."
