My mouth hung slightly open, i was getting ready to sat something important. what i wanted to say was: I's so, so sorry. but instead I said, "i love you." Only then, when i said it out loud, did i know that it was true. Carly threaded her fingers through mine and i squeezed her hand. She said it back to me, and i was relieved in a way that i wasn't expecting. i didn't know that i needed her to say it until she did. i was so grateful; i leaned down and kissed her fearlessly, which was unlike me. When she kissed me back, i brought my hand up and cupped the nape of her neck, pulling her hair with clumsy fingers. i tried to back off, to apologize for hurting her, but she kept me close, kissing me softly at first, then hard and fast until the lines between us blurred.

About This Quote

The first line of this quote is actually incorrect, because it uses the word "poise" instead of "glory". The rest of the quote is correct. Shakespeare was talking about how it's not about never falling down, but about never giving up. He makes it sound so simple, but I'm sure he knew better than anyone how difficult it can be.

Also, Carly's feelings for him are symbolized in her hair. I think that she can see all of his greatness in his hair, and she wants to hold onto him forever.
