“Pinky promise I’ll still love your garden even with no flowers.”

“The feel of her head against his shoulder, of her familiar body, sent a shock of emotion over him. His arms holding her had a tendency to tighten around her.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

“That’s how you know you love someone, I guess. When you can’t experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.”

“I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists; the reality of everything.”
