"I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You'll never see, but you will know. I'll be all the poets, I'll kill them all and take each one's place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you. But never again like this."


yeah, i died. i am deceased. i have been crumbled, gutted, slashed, crushed, splintered. so rarely am i certain a book will be a new favorite within, like, 10 pages. despite all the hype this book has received, this book and its writing and its story still exceeded all of my expectations. i want to write love letters to this book of love letters.
