    “She was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls, if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hands all the time, as if they were afraid they’d bore you or something. Jane was different. We’d get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we’d start holding hands, and we won’t quite till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were.”
    J.D Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

    “

    Well I’ve been lost and I need direction /
    I could use a little love protection /
    What you say honey come to my defense /

    I stand up for you if it’s what you need /
    And I can take a punch, I don’t mind to bleed /
    As long as afterwards you feel bad for me /

    ”
    Griffin House, The Guy That Says Goodbye Is Out of His Mind

    “To him she seemed so beautiful, so seductive, so different from ordinary people, that he could not understand why no one was as disturbed as he by the clicking of her heels on the paving stones, why no one else’s heart was wild with the breeze stirred by the sighs of her veils, why everyone did not go mad with the movements of her braid, the flight of her hands, the gold of her laughter. He had not missed a single one of her gestures, not one of the indications of her character, but he did not dare approach her for fear of destroying the spell.”

    “Life seemed an unending succession of scenes like this. Under moonlight and pale starlight and in the backs of warm limousines and in low cozy roadsters stopped under sheltering trees, only the boy might change and this one was so nice.”

    “When may I come and visit you?” asked Marcel. ‘I’ll paint your portrait.’ ‘My dear, I can give you no address, since perhaps tomorrow I shall have none. But I’’’ come to see you, and I’ll mend your coat, which has a whole in it so big that you could move furniture through it without paying any rent.’ ‘What a sweet girl,’ said Marcel, as he walked slowly away, ‘a very goddess of gaiety. I’ll make two holes in my coat.’”

    “You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you don’t even have a name for.”
    Richard Siken (via finallyseeing)
