I Heart You, You Haunt Me

Lisa Schroeder

Top 10 Best Quotes

“Come with me,' Mom says. To the library. Books and summertime go together.”

“When you meet someone so different from yourself, in a good way, you don't even have to kiss to have fireworks go off. It's like fireworks in your heart all the time. I always wondered, do opposites really attract? Now I know for sure they do. I'd grown up going to the library as often as most people go to the grocery store. Jackson didn't need to read about exciting people or places. He went out and found them, or created excitement himself if there wasn't any to be found. The things I like are pretty simple. Burning CDs around themes, like Songs to Get You Groove On and Tunes to Fix a Broken Heart; watching movies; baking cookies; and swimming. It's like I was a salad with a light vinaigrette, and Jackson was a platter of seafood Cajun pasta. Alone, we were good. Together, we were fantastic.”

“Joy, not sorrow. Laughter, not tears. Life, not death. Love, not blame.”

“Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet, it comes back when you least expect it. If you let yourself feel pity for it and feed the thing, it parks its ugly, puny, lonely-for-attention butt on your doormat and won't go away. Scat kitty cat, scat. I don't need you sitting around here like that.”

“Memories might keep him alive but they might kill me.”

“If tears could bring him back, there'd be enough to bring him back a hundred times.”

“When you meet someone so different from yourself, in a good way, you don't even have to kiss to have fireworks go off. Its like fireworks in your heart all the time.”

“In that moment i realize a circle of love is ten times better than a procession of sorrys.”

“I see red, burning love disappear forever.”

“Okay. I will go. But only if you will give me your guilt to take with me.”
