    John Green
    “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
    John Green, Looking for Alaska

    Patrick Rothfuss
    “I thought of all the others who had tried to tie her to the ground and failed. So I resisted showing her the songs and poems I had written, knowing that too much truth can ruin a thing. And if that meant she wasn't entirely mine, what of it? I would be the one she could always return to without fear of recrimination or question. So I did not try to win her and contented myself with playing a beautiful game. But there was always a part of me that hoped for more, and so there was a part of me that was always a fool.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

    Louis C.K.
    “Shut uplet me tell you, LET ME. Every time I look at your face or even remember it, it wrecks me. And the way you are with me and youre just fun and you shit all over me and you make fun of me and youre real. I dont have enough time in any day to think about you enough...I dont even think about women anymore. I think about you.”
    Louis C.K.

    Nicola Upson
    “Now I think that just to be in the same room as you is adventure enough, that your friendship would be more exciting than most peoples love. All my good intentions left me the minute I set eyes on you today, and I know that even if I tell you to go now, sooner or later Ill come crawling back like a spaniel begging for any crumb you might throw me. I know that my love for you will make me lie my way into your friendship, that Ill deny the very fact of its existence just for the joy of seeing you. She looked away, suddenly self-conscious. Its ironic, isnt it? I dont want you to change at all, but Ill become whatever I have to just to be near youIll even be your friend.”
    Nicola Upson, Two for Sorrow

    Nenia Campbell
    “Hate me, then, he breathed. Break yourself into a thousand pieces and deny me each and every one of them. Because I am never letting you go.”
    Nenia Campbell, Quid Pro Quo

  • #7
    “I cant explain to you the joy I feel knowing its all mine. That you are all mine, that your body is all mine.”
    E.L Beth, Redemption

  • #8
    “I am beyond sick...sick with love, with lust, with worry, with jealousy, with envy, with hatred, with anger, with resentment...I am so sick with it all and it is all for you...everything I feel, I feel about you. Everything I have done, I have done for you" he said as if justifying his actions. Her tears falling now, she needed to get him to let her go...”
    E.L Beth, Stalking Her

  • #9
    Nenia Campbell
    “You want to be free. You also want to be mine. You can't be both.”
    Nenia Campbell, Crowned by Fire

  • #10
    Vladimir Nabokov
    “I would fight of course. Oh, I would fight. Better destroy everything than surrender her.”
    Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

  • #11
    Chloe Gong
    “Then somewhere along the way, between our last petty argument and the fifth time you decided to sleep on my shoulder, I fell in love with you, and once Ive tumbled that deep, Im trying to understand everything you say no matter which language its in.”
    Chloe Gong, Foul Heart Huntsman

  • #12
    Gabrielle Sands
    “When I look at you, I see the entire universe. It took losing you for me to understand that you are everything to me. There might have been a before you, but there is no after. I cant function without you. I cant sleep, I cant think, I can barely fucking breathe. Without you, I exist in a horrible dark place thats devoid of everything that makes life worth living.”
    Gabrielle Sands, When She Loves

  • #13
    “Xiao YuAn, listen to me very carefully. I like you, the kind of like in which I want to tie you to my bed. The kind of like that in addition to me, you wont see anyone else. In which, night after night youll be under my arms begging for mercy. Ill make your eyes cry until the corners of your eyes become red, and your fingers clutch the bedding because you cant bear my manipulation on your body. You will desperately try to escape, but youll be unable to move, trying really hard to breathe as you cant stop your mouth from moaning in pleasure. Do you understand me?”
    , ķҪλ How to Survive As a Villain

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I choose to love you in silence
    For in silence I find no rejection,

    I choose to love you in loneliness
    For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

    I choose to adore you from a distance
    For distance will shield me from pain,

    I choose to kiss you in the wind
    For the wind is gentler than my lips,

    I choose to hold you in my dreams
    For in my dreams, you have no end.”
    Rumi

    Sanober  Khan
    “your hand
    touching mine.
    this is how
    galaxies
    collide.”
    Sanober Khan

  • #16
    Ranata Suzuki
    “Its painful, loving someone from afar.
    Watching them C from the outside.
    The once familiar elements of their life reduced to nothing more than occasional mentions in conversations and faces changing in photographs..
    They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof that something can still hurt you with no contact at all.”
    Ranata Suzuki

    Nick Oliveri
    “Golden. Like the product of Starfall, I could only hope to touch my vision of her. A missed connection perpetually. I felt like I was alive, only to look for her around every corner, hoping but knowing she would never appear. And she never appeared. And she never would appear, either, not after I killed her.”
    Nick Oliveri, Her

  • #19
    “You value lust, I value love
    There is a huge difference between us.
    You want to be in someone's bed
    and I want to be the one inside their heart and head. We can never be together because you wouldn't value love and I am too strong to only care about lust. I wish you happiness but I hope you realize how badly it hurts when you love someone and they cheat. I hope it doesn't happen to you because your heart is already broken and too weak to handle this wound that scars deep.”
    Shillpi S Banerrji

  • #20
    “You are out there knocking on the wrong door.
    It's 4 am, and i am still awake on the bed,
    laying and thinking of ways to get you out of my head.”
    Shillpi S Banerrji

  • #21
    Sylvia Plath
    “Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.”
    Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

  • #22
    Ernest Hemingway
    “Maybe...you'll fall in love with me all over again."
    "Hell," I said, "I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?"
    "Yes. I want to ruin you."
    "Good," I said. "That's what I want too.”
    Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

  • #23
    Gayle Forman
    “If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.”
    Gayle Forman, If I Stay

  • #24
    Donna Lynn Hope
    “You've invaded my mind and I can't get you out of it," he accused with discernible disdain. She avoided looking at him and said, "Then you should forget." "Forget?" he thundered,"EVERYTHING reminds me of you!" She turned to confront him, slowing lifting her eyes to meet the disgust in his. "That's not my doing," she countered, "That's your doing and you are the only one who can control it.”
    Donna Lynn Hope

  • #25
    Ellen Connor
    “I don't know how to give up," he said. "If I did. I would have already, long before I met you. I'm not a man who's ever gonna lay down, Jenna." He paused, and his teeth flashed white in the near dark. "Except maybe for you.”
    Ellen Connor, Nightfall

  • #26
    Sasha Leone
    “Let me make this clear, princess. You are mine. Mine to play with.
    Mine to marry. Mine to keep. Whoever comes looking for you will only
    find death.”
    Sasha Leone

  • #27
    Andr Aciman
    You made me who I am today, Nanni. Wherever I go, everyone I see and crave is ultimately measured by the glow of your light. If my life were a boat, you were the one who stepped on board, turned on its running lights, and was never heard from again. All this might as well be in my head, and in my head it stays. But I've lived and loved by your light alone. In a bus, on a busy street, in class, in a crowded concert hall, once or twice a year, whether for a man or a woman, my heart still jolts when I spot your look-alike. We love only once in our lives, my father had said, sometimes too early, sometimes too late; the other times are always a touch deliberate.”
    Andr Aciman, Enigma Variations

  • #28
    Ranata Suzuki
    “Perhaps I was easier to shake off for you because youre such a together person. I was just an extra layer on the outside like a blanket you could shrug off and feel just the same. except maybe a little colder.
    But I was always a broken person that was haphazardly held together by little more than my own strength. And so you just seeped in the cracks and mingled with my insides until you became an inseparable part of me. And as painful as that is, it still kind of warms me to know I will always carry a part of you with me.”
    Ranata Suzuki

  • #29
    Rafy Rohaan
    “You are the essence
    of who I am, what I do,
    I cannot live without you.

    You are my soul;
    how can I separate you
    from my heart?

    I am a fish, you are the vast ocean, you must not leave me at shore,
    I cannot live without you.”
    Rafy Rohaan
