Tricks - Ellen Hopkins

"Some people never find the right kind of love.
You know, the kind that steals
your breath away, like diving into snowmelts.

The kind that jolts your heart,
Sets it beating a pace, an anxious
Hiccuping of hummingbird wings.

The kind that makes every terrible
minute apart feel hours. Days.

Some people flit from one possibility
to the next, never experiencing the incredible
connection of two people, rocked by destiny.

Never knowing what it means to love
someone else more than themselves.

More than life itself, or the promise
of something better, beyond this world.
More, even than God.

Lucky me, I found the right kind
of love. With the wrong person."
