"You didn't just keep me alive, you made me live." - Adam Silvera (They Both Die At The End, page 345)


Love is what I strive for,

But it is what I cannot have,

For society’s looks

And threats

And torture

Tear us away from each other

And we hide ourselves.

And yet, 

I stay with her.

Her touch,

Her kiss,

Her effortless beauty,

Her unceasing kindness,

Are all addictive,

Impossible to let go of.

I love her,

But I cannot have her,

And she cannot have me,

And still,

Her love is what I will die for
