I’ve Always Wanted

A story like Jack and Rose

A kiss like Spiderman and Mary Jane

A fight like Elizabeth and Darcy

A friendship like Ron and Hermione

A connection like Robbie and Julia

A dance like Troy and Gabriella

A strength like Edward and Bella

A secret like Romeo and Juliet

An end like Noah and Allie

“Will has always been the brighter burning star, the one to catch attention — but Jem is a steady flame, unwavering and honest. He could make you happy.” ―Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince.

Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing.., the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications.

So, Hank, I just saw New Moon the movie and to be honest, I thought it was kind of stupid, but it reminded me of what I really do like about Twilight. It’s fun, it distracts me from the pain and brokenness of the world, and it argues that true love will triumph in the end, which may or may not be true but if it’s a lie, it’s the most beautiful lie we have.

I didn’t think I’d have to clear this up, but…

theartofnotwriting:

since it seems that I do: Book 3’s title WILL NOT be “Detergent.” That is just a joke.

Seriously.
