"You hope, and you dream. You never believe that something's gonna happen for you. Not like it does in the movies. And when it actually does, you want it to feel different. More visceral, more real. I was waiting for it to hit me, but it just wouldn't happen."

"When you develop an infatuation for someone, you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason.

But in the haze of infatuation, its just what you've been searching for all these years."

"Desire is desire, wherever you go. The sun will not bleach it nor the tide wash it away."

"Love, like grief; tends to fade away. And be replaced by something more exciting."
