And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes.



My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, and you’re floating. Floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person’s eyes.
Wendelin Van Draanen, Flipped

More young adult fiction via tumblr - i must have been an emotionally stunted immature young adult - because at 11-14 (the target age of this book) i wouldn't have been able to relate to this para above. In fact at 25 I'm still struggling to be honest - but doesn't it fit beautifully with the image?
