But you said you love me. You don’t just leave after that.

May, I love you with everything I am. For so long, I just wanted to be like you. But I had to figure out that I am someone too, and now I can carry you, your heart with mine, everywhere I go.

All of a sudden we were out of the lot and on the highway next to the mountains, flying. I put my hand out the window, and then I put my head out. I felt my hair blow behind me and the air rush into me, and I forgot for a moment to worry about how I was supposed to be. Because I was perfect right then. Everything was. And Sky was a perfect driver. Not scary. Just steady. And fast. I wanted the music to last forever.

You either have the feeling or you don’t.

The numbers on the board don’t mean a thing, because for the first time in forever, I have somewhere to go.

oh, the heartbreakingly beautiful
tender weight of being human.
