everything you ever thought about love was a lie

"I can't imagine ever loving anybody the way I love Sam. When I allow myself to think that this is really the end of all that, that I am going to live my life without him, I feel like a boat person. I feel like I've lost my culture and my language. That there was this little village someplace where I grew up, and now it's blown to smithereens and I'm the only person left to remember it. That wherever I go, whatever I do, whoever else I'm with, I'm some kind of refugee. [...] You know what it's like when you feel like you grew up with someone? When you learned whole vocabularies with that person?"
