The Lover's Dictionary
by David Levithan
"basis, n.
There has to be a moment at the beginning
when you wonder whether you're in love with the
person or in love with the feeling of love itself.
If the moment doesn't pass, that's it--you're done.
And if the moment does pass, it never goes
that far. It stands in the distance, ready for
whenever you want it back. Sometimes it's even
there when you thought you were searching for
something else, like an escape route, or your
lover's face."
