''But I will never give you what you want in chains.''

''I’m not asking for a grand declaration of love. I’ve stopped entertaining those thoughts long ago. You see, I have resigned myself to where I am now, hanging by a thin, tenuous thread. I can feel it twisting above me, gently fraying, slowly giving way. I’m not asking for promises or tenure — I just want a hand to reach for at the breaking point.''

''You think falling in love is about holding on, but it isn’t. It is about hands gripping the edge of the world and letting go, one finger at a time. Take a deep breath—here comes the drop. I know it’s your first time here, but soon you will get used to the motion; the headlong dive into the deep. Just go with it. You only get one chance to fall in love with your heart still whole.''

''That swift, surprising transition from nothing to everything.''
