Kahlen Quotes

Dude...you were together. Night and day for four years, so what was wasted exactly. ~ Kahlen Aymes

No. I'll never be ready to leave you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

When we were in New York, you cried for two days and passed out. You said a word in your sleep, over and over. Akinli." Elizabeth stared down at the drawing.
"At first I thought it was gibberish. And then I thought it was the name of a town or a building. . . . I didn't figure out it belonged to a person until you made that." Elizabeth pointed down to the paper, worn from being folded and unfolded who knew how many times.
"When Elizabeth came to me, I had to tell her the truth, and we decided to find him. You gave us the name of the town. We went there looking for someone answering to that name, fitting this image." Miaka smiled ruefully. "Very small town. It wasn't hard."
Tears pooled in my eyes. "You've really seen him?"
They both nodded. I thought about all those trips they had taken, making up ridiculous stories so they could get to him without me knowing.
"How is he?" I asked, unable to contain my curiosity. "Is he okay? Has he gone back to school? Is he still with Ben and Julie? Is he happy? Could you tell? Is he happy?"
The questions tumbled out without me being able to hold them in. I was desperate to know. I felt a single word would put my soul at ease.
Elizabeth swallowed hard. "That's the thing, Kahlen. We're afraid he's dying. ~ Kiera Cass

Suddenly my arms and my life felt very empty indeed. Julia...i love you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

The way she affected me, how much i loved her ... it was like my life-force. Consuming and endless. ~ Kahlen Aymes

But…I'm so glad we're us now. I love you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you, do you hear me? I can't breathe without you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I want him to know how much i love him. ~ Kahlen Aymes

They got under each of my shoulders and pulled me up, Padma walking in front of me and holding her arms out for good measure. I walked on my own, but I knew that if they hadn't been there, I might have fallen more than once. Side by side, we marched into the Ocean, all of us crying for help.
What? I felt the swirling waves of Her worry as we floated just beneath the surface.
Something's wrong with Kahlen, Miaka said.
In the water, they could let me go, and I floated there, the Ocean holding me like a child.
I'm so tired.
Look at her skin, Elizabeth said. She's so pale. And she keeps sleeping. Like she needs it.
She has a fever, too, Miaka added. I was acutely aware that my temperature was off; I could feel the water around me warming from my touch....She fretted. This has never happened before. I don't know what to do.
Maybe if she stays in You for a while, it would help, Elizabeth suggested.
What, Miaka? the Ocean asked suddenly.
Nothing. But she did look like she was hiding something.
What were you thinking?
Nothing, Miaka insisted. Flipping through ideas, it's all nothing. I think Elizabeth is onto something. She swam up to me. We'll come and check on you every hour until you feel like coming back to bed.
I didn't want to say how much it bothered me that she said "back to bed" instead of "back to the house." It was like she knew I wasn't going to be standing again.
Okay.
They fled, of ~ Kiera Cass

I just ... love you more than i can even stand, Ryan. It's ... overwhelming and amazing. My heart is so full of you, i can't even breathe. You ... fill me up. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Mostly, my heart ached to be closer, to imprint upon her that she belonged to me, body and soul. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You own me. I can never be with anyone else, I never want anyone else…I only want you for the rest of my life… ~ Kahlen Aymes

I am still so in love ... i'll never get enough of you. Every time ... i'm undone. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You're always on my mind and in my heart. It doesn't hurt that you set my body on fire, either. ~ Kahlen Aymes

It was a fact that many people ignored: Children's books held truths" -Kahlen ~ Kiera Cass

I'll never get tired of hearing it, i love you, too....so much. ~ Kahlen Aymes

It was beautiful. Every second like a dream. Even if we didn't do anything but lie around and talk! I want nothing more than to be with him, Ellie. It's so...profound...it's frightening. I can't put it into words, but i swear i'd chuck it all to be with him. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I promise, forever. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I sniffed as a few tears escaped, lifting my hands to wipe them away. It was then that I caught the only clues I'd been given by whoever had left me here.
On one wrist someone had written You are Kahlen. The other said He is Akinli.
I flipped my hands over and searched up and down my arms, hoping there was more.
"Look," I begged, holding out my arms.
"Pretty handwriting," Ben commented.
Julie hit him, but in a way that seemed playful. "Seriously?"
"That's all you have?" Akinli asked.
"Apparently. So, all I know is who I am and who you are." I looked into his eyes, the glowing blue, and sensed that was all that mattered. ~ Kiera Cass

Now that I'd been in a place like this, where lives connected and crossed, it was easy to see why all those cities had been wrong for me. Anonymity helped, sure. But if you found the right place, with the right kind of people, it was much better going somewhere you might at least get a nod or a wave as you walked home." -Kahlen ~ Kiera Cass

Julia ... do you feel how much you own me?" I moaned against the soft skin of her neck, her pulse beating wildly against my lips. So sweet and alive. "But you're mine. You own me, but you've always been mine. ~ Kahlen Aymes

This isn't how i wanted to do this, Julia ... but yes. i'll let you go to Paris but only with this on your finger. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Earlier tonight, when we you were telling me that story with your hands…"

I grinned, and my cheek spread into his chin. Using the paper was easy enough and got us through most of the evening. But at one point he had insisted I try to tell him something using only hand gestures to see if he could keep up. I told him about discovering Miaka without him having any clue what the big motions of my hands meant. Every once in a while he would interject with a silly comment like "I love jelly, too." I finished with a flourish, to which he said "jazz hands." I didn't know what it meant, but it made me smile all the same.

"I just want you to know, that's the best conversation I've ever had," he whispered. "You probably feel like you don't communicate much, but I think you say a lot. Your eyes, your posture. There's a world of words around you, Kahlen. And you may not be able to express it all as easily as you'd like, but I can tell that you understand things. And not just the surface of things… if that makes sense. ~ Kiera Cass

I'm so happy you came to see me. This weekend has meant the world to me, Ryan. ~ Kahlen Aymes

J..You are the love of my life..of my forever. Words cannot express what you mean to me, but i'll tell you a hundred times a day for the rest of my life. I love you. R ~ Kahlen Aymes

I was still amazed at how much i loved him, and more so, that he returned it in the same measure. I couldn't ask for anything more. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You know i'm going to marry you, right? I'm not fucking around. You're it for me. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Don't say that. I cherish every moment i've had with you. Every single one, okay? Even when we fight. Don't wish it away. Maybe we wouldn't be us if things had been different. And i want this ... the way it is between us now is worth all of the waiting and longing. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you every bit as much as you think i do...probably more. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Elizabeth nodded, looking too dejected to do much more. "Can she just go back to him?" she pleaded. "He's dying. She's dying. They can't have a life together, but at least they could have this."
No, Kahlen is Mine. We'll fix her.
"With what?" Elizabeth demanded through tears. "There's nothing left."
"Please," I said, letting all the dams burst, exposing every last drop of love I had for Akinli. "You've seen how I feel now. I've shared everything . . . ~ Kiera Cass

If I searched a hundred years, I couldn't find the words to tell you how you make me feel…or how much I love you. Do you know that? ~ Kahlen Aymes

I guess i never analyzed it. I didn't think i was worthy, but yes, i've been in love with her for...ever. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Akinli: You never told me your favorite color before you left
Kahlen: So many, but mostly I like the color of autumn
Akinli: The color of autumn...yea how everything looks like it's on fire
Kahlen: But it's dying! Death never looked so lovely ~ Kiera Cass

Don't forget to remember me, alright? ~ Kahlen Aymes

She was the most beautiful thing in my life and my mind had settled long ago that she always would be. I loved her so much I could barely wrap my mind around it. It was like the sun being the center of the universe, the planets all held captive around it, unable to break free of the pull and unable to sustain without its magnificence. She was my sun, the absolute center of my universe. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I don't want to make a big deal about this or anything, but I think it's kind of cool how you do everything you do."
I squinted at him.
"I mean, you use sign language, and it's hard to communicate. But you're into art and you can seriously cook and, for goodness' sakes, you can even jitterbug. By the way, I told my mom, and she wants a video. Totally doesn't believe me. But, yeah, I think it's nice that you don't let a little hitch in life slow you down. I admire that."
I smiled. For a minute, I admired myself, too. He didn't know how deep my problems ran, but he was right all the same. It was no small thing to try, to find out what you cared about in life. Even this moment, with this wonderful, temporary boy beside me, was a tiny miracle. I ought to give myself some credit. ~ Kiera Cass

You are my heart. The most beautiful and precious thing in my world. Don't forget that. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You always have, Ryan. Newsflash! She has too. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Body, heart and soul ... i belong to you. Forever. ~ Kahlen Aymes

No. Forever isn't long enough. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You're stuck with me now; the good, bad and the ugly. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I could be surrounded by a hundred people and i'd still be alone. As long as Julia wasn't with me ... i was alone. ~ Kahlen Aymes

This is where i came from. Right here. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Landed in Boston. Thanks for finally being mine. I love you with everything i am. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I can't believe how much i love you, Ryan. It takes my breath away. It's like...not possible that this much love exists. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Julia. Stop. I can and i will. Even if i can't be with you, i don't want anyone else. i'll give you and part of me that you want. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I just don't want to let go of you tonight. So sue me. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Nothing means more to me than you, you have to know that. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Jesus, you're so beautiful. You're beautiful to everyone, but to me there is nothing more exquisite than seeing the love..the want..in your eyes when you look at me. It's a miracle. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I promised you that your voice would never be his undoing, that his death would never come at My hand. This wasn't how I thought it would unfold, but the only way to show you how much I love you would be to keep this promise. It's all I have left.
Her thoughts swirled, aligning into action.
You all will have to do the planning. I assume we'll need to do the change near Maine. I will bring you there when you're ready.
"I'll take care of everything," Miaka vowed. "I'll leave as little to chance as possible."
Go now. I need to prepare.
"Will You be all right?" I asked.
I must be. Go, dear girl. This is all I can give you. Now you can finally know how I love you. ~ Kiera Cass

Yes, she told me she loved me and has loved me as i've loved her. While it made me incredibly happy, i was sad because we should have been together all this time and pissed. ~ Kahlen Aymes

She's already making the feast, Aaron. She's ... perfect."
[ ... ]
"Really? Jen! Get your ass in the kitchen and start making dinner. Julia is three hours behind you and she's already started!"
I laughed out loud again when I heard Jenna's response in the background. "You get your ass dressed. The turkey will be served at McFarland's Corner of 15th and Nichols. Bring your wallet, asshole. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I mean it..it doesn't matter where we are, as long as we're together. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I remember you, Matthews. Always. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Always was. You're just aware of it now. :-) ~ Kahlen Aymes

You deserve whatever i decide to give you and i want to give you everything. Just don't forget to remember me, and we'll be okay. Don't forget how much i love you ... ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you, Ryan. You're the only thing i need. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I took that for granted when we were together all of the time. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Not soon enough, though. I'm seriously done missing my girl. I can't wait to be with her every day. ~ Kahlen Aymes

i love you, too...and miss you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I'll be dreaming of you tonight, love. As always. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I'm not letting go of you until i absolutely have no choice. ~ Kahlen Aymes

God, i love you, so, so much. It's beyond words for me too, honey. I'm so pissed at myself for not having the balls to tell you before. To think we could have had this ... the whole time. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I wanted to cry at how beautiful that tiny moment was. Couples were like sirens, making their own languages and signs, their own worlds" -Kahlen ~ Kiera Cass

So much. I'll miss you every single second. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You are special. That's why i didn't make moves on you before. I didn't see you the same way i saw other women. You were so much more. ~ Kahlen Aymes

If I wasn't before, I am now. I didn't believe it was possible to love you more than I already did…but I do. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you; i only want you...forever. Will you marry me, sweet? ~ Kahlen Aymes

It's okay, sweets. Soon, forever starts for us. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You're everything. I can't even breathe without you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Baby ... i can't tell you how much i love you right now. My chest feels like it's going to explode, it hurts so much. ~ Kahlen Aymes

This is my life. This is going to be my life. My life with Julia. ~ Kahlen Aymes

She's more than that...but she is my very best friend in the world. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You'll be resorting to ma thumb and her four daughters after that stupid-ass remark. ~ Kahlen Aymes

And, i love that you're possessive. It makes me feel all warm and gushy inside. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you, too, Ryan. More than i ever thought i could love anyone. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Well, leave it to Aaron to find the ray of sunshine in any situation. ~ Kahlen Aymes

It just makes me love her even more. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I know the consequences of what I've done. Kill me if You must.
There was a long silence, and I could sense Her softening, that strange affection She shared with me above the others.
Do you think I rejoice in death?
I raised my head. What?
There is no joy for Me in punishing you or in taking lives. I do what I must to survive. And not only would I not delight in your death, I would mourn it. You must know by now how dear you are to Me.
I swallowed. Why me? Why do I have Your favor more so than the others?
She was so tender with me, lifting me up from the sand as if She were cradling a baby. Considering her timelessness and my temporariness, I practically was a newborn in Her eyes.
Throughout My many, many years and all the sirens I've carried in My hands, none of them has considered Me as you do. There's been a detachment, a deliberate isolation between them and Me.
But you? You come to Me with a sweetness, an attempt to understand. You come to Me even when you are not called. I feel for you what a mother feels for her daughter. To end your life would be to end Mine.
I cried again. I'm so sorry. I never wanted to hurt You. ~ Kiera Cass

Okay, honey. I love you, too. More than anything. I can't wait to get my arms around you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you so much, Julia. I wish i could touch you. I can't wait until you're closer. ~ Kahlen Aymes

It's like she looks right through me or into my soul or something. I can't even find the words to describe how i feel. ~ Kahlen Aymes

You caught me. Just letting them know that you're mine, sweets. ~ Kahlen Aymes

If I could, I'd rewind the world five plus years and just be his friend rather then not have him at all ~ Kahlen Aymes

I know. You're my whole life. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I know that's true, but she's worth going through anything. I'll deal. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Julia, we will be together. I'd give anything if you could be with me all of the time, now ... but it will happen eventually. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Julia, don't cry, love. I'm right here with you, and you're everything to me. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Nothing had changed the love; sometimes suffocating, sometimes debilitating, sometimes so joyous and incredible, but always overwhelming and utterly amazing. The mad,mad love remained ... ~ Kahlen Aymes

You're so damn perfect you shouldn't even exist. Just ... look at you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

I got the groceries and lugged them all the way to Akinli's dorm, running slightly behind because I couldn't get into the building on my own. The university required ID cards to get into the dorms after six, and since I wasn't an actual student, I had to wait for someone else to come along and scan his so I could piggyback in.
"You need some help?" the boy asked, his eyes lingering on my mouth.
I shook my head no.
"Aww, come on. That's way too heavy for you."
He came closer, and again I cursed our natural appeal. I wasn't in danger exactly, and I knew that, but it didn't make these encounters any less uncomfortable. I shook my head again.
"No, really, which floor are you on? I can - "
"Hey, Kahlen!" I looked up to see Akinli walking down the hall. His button-up was open over the gray shirt beneath it, but I was thrilled to see that he'd at least put one on. "I was starting to worry. Hey, Sam."
"Hey." The boy gave Akinli a look and headed toward the stairwell, his displeasure at Akinli's arrival clear. In the meantime, I felt my mood lift significantly. I was now officially on my first date. ~ Kiera Cass

I'm in orbit around you, can't you see that? I can move around you, but never away ~ Kahlen Aymes

I love you. I know i say it too much, but now that i can, i can't stop. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Well, it is my soul that's been stolen ... and my heart. ~ Kahlen Aymes

Mmmmmmm. Wish i was there. Don't forget about me. I'm the one who loves you. ~ Kahlen Aymes

This feels nice. I could hold you forever. ~ Kahlen Aymes
