Avoamento desses, a gente estatela e não entende; que dirá o senhor, eu contando só assim? Eu queria ir para ele, para abraço, mas minhas coragens não deram. Porque ele faltou com o passo, num rejeito, de acanhamento. Mas me reconheceu, visual. Os olhos nossos donos de nós dois. [...] O Menino me deu a mão: e o que mão a mão diz é o curto; às vezes pode ser o mais adivinhado e conteúdo; isto também. E ele como sorriu. Digo ao senhor: até hoje para mim está sorrindo. ↗

I have everything I want right in front of me, I love you so damned much I can’t think straight, and then it’s like…I don’t know, like I’m so afraid of losing you, that I keep pushing you away so maybe I’ll stop caring as much and then it won’t hurt as bad if I do lose you.

Jivan: You think when you have love that love is easy to find, that everyone has it. It's not true. It's very hard to find. Nedra: I haven't been looking for it. Jivan: It's like a tree...It takes a long time to grow. It has roots very deep, and these roots stretch out a long way, farther than you know. You can't cut it, just like that. ↗

There were a million things, everything, I didn't know. I was stupid, the official descriptive phrase for happy. I took this thing I'm giving you back, this thing you gave me as the star we were waiting for finally emerged. ↗
