Steddie + Richard Siken Quotes
If you're wondering about some other nice Siken quotes to go with these boys, since i have most often seen the jacket one, here's a bunch more:
"The way you slam your body into mine reminds me Iām alive, but monsters are always hungry, darling, and theyāre only a few steps behind you"
"Youāre in a car with a beautiful boy, and youāre trying not to tell him that you love him"
"Iāve been rereading your story. I think itās about me in a way that might not be flattering, but thatās okay. We dream and dream of being seen as we really are and then finally someone looks at us and sees us truly and we fail to measure up. Anyway: story received, story included. You looked at me long enough to see something mysterioso under all the gruff and bluster. Thanks. Sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them."
"He was pointing at the moon, but I was looking at his hand." (hello Steve looking intently at Eddie while Eddie tries to tell him about Nancy)
"I crawled out the window and ran into the woods. I had to make up all the words myself. The way they taste, the way they sound in the air. I passed through the narrow gate, stumbled in, stumbled around for a while, and stumbled back out. I made this place for you. A place for you to love me. If this isn't a kingdom then I don't know what is."
"You go to work the next day pretending nothing happened.
Your co-workers ask
if everything's okay and you tell them
you're just tired.
And you're trying to smile. And they're trying to smile."
"Tell me we're dead and I'll love you even more."
"Letās admit, without apology, what we do to each other."
"Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story."
"Because people die. The fear: that nothing survives. The greater fear: that something does."
"I wanted to hurt you
but the victory is that I could not stomach it. We have
swallowed him up, they said. Itās beautiful. It really is.
I had a dream about you. We were in the gold room
where everyone finally gets what they want.
You said Tell me about your books, your visions made
of flesh and light and I said This is the Moon. This is
the Sun. Let me name the stars for you. Let me take you
there. The splash of my tongue melting you like a sugar
cubeā¦ We were in the gold room where everyone
finally gets what they want, so I said What do you
want, sweetheart? and you said Kiss me. Here I am
leaving you clues. I am singing now while Rome
burns."
"For a while I thought I was the dragon.
I guess I can tell you that now. And, for a while, I thought I was
the princess,
cotton candy pink, sitting there in my room, in the tower of the castle,
young and beautiful and in love and waiting for you with
confidence
but the princess looks into her mirror and only sees the princess,
while Iām out here, slogging through the mud, breathing fire,
and getting stabbed to death.
Okay, so Iām the dragon. Big deal.
You still get to be the hero."
"You just wanted to prove there was one safe place, just one safe place where you could love him. You have not found that place yet."
"And no one can ever figure out what you want,
and you won't tell them,
and you realize the person who loves you isn't the one you thought it would be"
"I don't really blame you for being dead but you can't have your sweater back."
"This is my favorite part. It starts and ends here. The pebbles shine, the plan worked, Hansel Triumphant. Lesson number one: be sneaky and have a plan. But the stupid boy goes back, makes the rest of the story postscript and aftermath. He shouldnāt have gone back."
"Donāt leave the room until I come back from the dead for you. I will
come back from the dead for you. [...] Leave the lights on. [...] Iām in the hallway again, Iām in the hallway. The radioās playing my favorite song. Leave the lights on. Keep talking. Iāll keep walking toward the sound of your voice."
