Everyone knows love is complex, but having it articulated by someone who can really write is somehow infinitely comforting. I don't feel so much fear that I'm doing it wrong. David Levithan is my hero. I might have to buy this so I can re-read it now and again. 
 There is so much poetry in the choices of words listed in this dictionary, and how each word is related to the unfolding of a couple's relationship.

 Awhile - "It is easy for me to say it took me awhile to know. That is about as accurate as I can get. There were sneak previews of knowing, for sure. Instances that made me feel, oh, this could be right. But the moment I shifted from a hope that needed to be proven to a certainty that would be continually challenged? There's no pinpointing that."

 Elegy 
 Misgivings - "Last night, I got up the courage to ask you if you regretted us. 'There are things I miss,' you said. 'But if I didn't have you, I'd miss more.'"

 Punctuate 
 Ubiquitous - "When it's going well, the fact of it is everywhere. It's there in the song that shuffles into your ears. It's there in the book you're reading. It's there on the shelves of the store as you reach for a towel and forget about the towel. It's there as you open the door. As you stare off on the subway, it's what you're looking at. You wear it on the inside of your hat. It lines your pockets. It's the temperature. 
 The hitch, of course, is that when it's going badly, it's in all the same places."
