  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #1

    After Lucca died, everything shut down. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't talk. Somehow they got me on the plane and back home.


  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #2

    And then it hits me like a fast, open-palmed, stinging smack in the face.
    Having a ghost boyfriend
    WAS
    weird

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #3

    And what I think is that
    when you’re completely alone
    and deep inside yourself
    with feelings no one else can understand,
    there really aren’t a hundred places to go.

    It’s like if I woke up one day
    and looked outside
    and saw purple trees
    and red grass and green dogs,
    is there anyone I could tell who would understand?

    No.
    There’d be no one.
    It’s exactly like that.

    He saw purple trees
    and red grass and green dogs
    while no one else did.

    And maybe,
    he just got tired
    of seeing them.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #4

    And years from now,
    you may not remember exactly what you ate.
    But you’ll remember who you ate with.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #5

    Come with me,' Mom says.
    To the library.
    Books and summertime
    go together.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #6

    Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet, it comes back when you least expect it. If you let yourself feel pity for it and feed the thing, it parks its ugly, puny, lonely-for-attention butt on your doormat and won't go away. Scat kitty cat, scat. I don't need you sitting around here like that.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #7

    He cups my face
    with both hands
    leans in,
    eyes lingering a
    sweet second
    before his lips
    are there on mine,
    teasing,
    playing,
    tasting,
    kissing.

    When he pulls away,
    I'm breathless.

    He nuzzles my ear.
    Now that's thrilling.

    You got that right.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #8

    He was a character.
    A character who should still be here.
    Damn it all to hell.
    He should still be here.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #9

    Heads: This girl
    Tails: That girl

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #10

    I hear the word
    in the hall
    over and over again.
    Suicide.
    Suicide.
    Suicide.
    Did he or didn’t he?
    Everyone’s got a guess.
    Still no one knows for sure,
    except Gabe,
    but he’s not talking.
    Why does it even matter?
    He’s gone.
    His, ours, theirs—
    blame needs a place.
    His, ours, theirs—
    pain all over the place.
    His, ours, theirs—
    forgiveness missing from this place.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #11

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #12

    I know. You can be fine, and then,
    out of nowhere,
    a memory blindsides you.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #13

    I like
    the memories
    because they remind me
    I haven't always been
    this girl,
    constantly
    mad or scared
    or confused.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #14

    I look at him and realize, maybe I overreacted. Maybe more than once.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #15

    I think fear is normal, Cade. Just don't let it win.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #16

    I'm glad for the rain...It's good camouflage.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #17

    Ill lose myself in the pain. It might not make sense. But it works.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #18

    It brings me
    back to the moment,
    and I want to live
    the moment with everything I’ve got.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #19

    Joy, not sorrow.
    Laughter, not tears.
    Life, not death.
    Love, not blame.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #20

    Lunch can wait. Everything can wait. Time to run.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #21

    Memories
    fall
    like
    snowflakes
    upon
    my dreams.

    The snowflakes
    toss and tumble,
    each different
    and yet
    the same.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #22

    Okay.
    I will go.
    But only if
    you will give me
    your guilt
    to take
    with me.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #23

    See that's exactly why I don't want a dog. Why? Because it'll just die. Everybody dies, Brooklyn. Like that makes it okay or something.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #24

    Sometimes you want to remember. And sometimes you need to forget.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #25

    STONE
    Let my heart
    turn to
    stone.
    Maybe then
    I can sleep
    without
    nightmares.
    May be then
    I can eat
    without
    a stomachache.
    Maybe then
    I can read
    without fear
    of an unhappy ending.
    Take the knife
    out of my heart
    and,please,
    let it
    turn to stone.

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND YOU

    When I hold a rose,
    I see the soft, velvety petals
    and smile, because
    tucked between
    those precious petals
    is a special gift -
    the one of a fragrance,
    pure and sweet.
    When you hold a rose,
    you see the thorns
    along the stem,
    and you frown
    because those thorns
    can bring you pain
    and cause you to bleed.
    I see the gift.
    You see the tragedy.
    More and more
    I fear that one of these days
    someone will hand me a rose
    and all I will see
    are thorns.
    Talk about tragedy.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #27

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #28

    Three boys. Three deaths. One school. We've made the national news. Is out school cursed? Are we a reckless bunch of fools? The media asks questions no one can answer. Kids can't stop crying.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #29

    Was it hard? I ask.
    Letting go?

    Not as hard as holding on to something that wasn't real.

  • Lisa Schroeder Quote #30

    We have a lot of questions, and we
    want to understand.
    Music helps with that .

    Music helps with everything.
