Just because you keep something a secret doesn't mean it never happened, no matter how much you want that to be true. - Jodi Picoult

How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?

What we all want, really, is to be loved. That craving drives our worst behavior.

She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before.
And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize I have been starving.
I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this.
I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive.
Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.
