Here Are 5 Quotes From Dear Atlas on Love, Loss and Heartbreak:

There were days when your sharp wit became a vicious whip. A churning mess of anger and fear crashing against some invisible shoreline.

But you were my friend.

Then, I’d close my eyes and listen to the clinking of a spoon against your teacup.

I used to wonder. Why didn’t you wake me? If it was a bad dream or an anxious thought, keeping you up at night, I’d have listened.
