Even when I detach, I care. You can be separate from a thing and still care about it. If I wanted to detach completely, I would move my body away. I would stop the conversation midsentence. I would leave the bed. Instead, I hover over it for a second. I glance off in another direction. But I always glance back at you.

- David Levithan, The Lover’s Dictionary 

Oh look what you have done to me. It wasn't the snow on the ground falling around us like flower petals kissed by the ice. or the look in his eyes that stinged me with a feeling of happiness. what was holding me up. wasn't the earth below or it's crust or even it's fiery core. that lifted us here in this moment, in this galaxy. it was his heart howling to the moon inside this chest. that kept us up here floating above even heaven.
