aberrant, adj.


“I don’t normally do this kind of thing,” you said.
     
“Neither do I,” I assured you.
     
Later it turned out we had both met people online before, and we had both slept with people on first dates before, and we had both found ourselves falling too fast before. But we comforted ourselves with what we really meant to say, which was: “I don’t normally feel this good about what I’m doing.”
     
Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling.
     
Everything else will be measured against it.


- David Levithan, "The Lover's Dictionary"


Everyone should read this book.

there is no once and for all

Get up, get out, stand up and shout your name 
Don't be afraid to get in the way again
Don't try to stop, like it or not you'll change
You know you only can go further away
When did we forget what we knew
When did we grow up and when did we lose
Everything we were so sure about then 
How do we know it won’t happen again


- "Once and For All", Clock Opera
