"Our relationship probably won't ever be what it was before we started growing into our own skin.  Before we hurt each other.  Before the world hurt us.  Maybe we'll never fully understand each other or know all of each other's secrets, and surely we'll never recapture our childhood innocence.  But we can have something new.  Something messy and real and imperfect, because that's what both of us are." 
-You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone by Rachel Lynn Solomon
