"This book will break you, then slowly put you back together. It is my read of the YEAR" Goodreads reviewer.
I couldn't do broken.
Broken is what he was.
Broken is what I will always be.
To his eyes, that held so much despair, I couldn't look for long.
To his fist, that clenched so tightly, like he was locking away the sorrow.
To his lips, that never uttered a word from the years of heartbreak.
And despite it all, I couldn't stay away from him.
It was like he was drowning in an ocean, and I wanted to grab his face and whisper to his lips, "Don't forget to breathe."
This was how I fell for a man. A man who was so lovesick, I was afraid he would drown me in that same ocean he was lost in.
