“I know the world has made you feel like excess, like you don't have a place to belong, but that's not true. You belong everywhere, in the sunshine, in gentle summer breezes, in soft snow flurries and in the color the leaves turn in the fall. You belong in the sparkle in the ocean and the sound of a birdsong, and I wish you could see yourself in all of those places the way that I do. You're every cozy rainshower in spring and every electrical storm in summer, you're everything, and the world's done itself a terrible injustice making you feel any other way."

I've never touched anyone like that, never kissed anyone like that. Never wanted to.

I'm stupidly, blindly, impossibly in love with you.

Nobody said it would be easy, but nobody said it would be like this, a bleak numbness in his bones and an utter lack of motivation to even brush his teeth, take a shower, pick some clothes that fit, instead of a shirt that’s too big on him.

“And what if he doesn’t feel the same?” Louis asks, feeling his heart tighten perceptibly at the very thought of rejection.

“Then he doesn’t,” Jaymi answers shortly, “but that’s a chance you have to take, mate. You can’t just go on wondering ‘what if’ for the rest of your life. If it’s meant to be, it will be, and all that.”

Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen? Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it. She's still 23 inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to be.
