“Lately I've been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and how I need to become the kind of love I want to be.

And when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this:

before I die, I want to be somebody's favorite hiding place,
the place they can put everything they need to survive,
every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe.

I will ... keep it safe.”
