Me Before You

*As was stated in the very recent entry that I put in with my other recommendation book, I already told you how much I love Ms. Emily's writing. So there is a bit of story behind me reading...well- this story. So there I was reading through The Gentleman Project when I said to myself, "Hey. I'm down for reading deep spiritual shit right now. Like yeah. Fuck rom com for a while. I gotta read the deep shit man."

Then boom. I went to Ms.Em's profile and discovered this treasure.

❝i should have said no. i should have just hurt you and left you again. but i couldn't. i had to save you. because i loved you. and because the me before you was just a hopeless boy with superfluous dreams. and you defined me, rain.

and then, after all the anger you had for me leaving you, you left me. after i didn't let you die that night.

and a new me before you was born.

a me before you left. a me before you died. a me before you fucked it all up. a me before i stopped loving you and started hating you instead.

a me when you were still in that bed with me, your hair spread across my pillows, your eyes like liquid amber as you told me you loved me.❞

in which ford remembers the one night he spent with his ex-girlfriend, rain, before she left.

I'm telling you guys, and I am serious about this. This is literally heartbreaking.
