I need to stop romanticizing the past. I'm walking backwards instead of forwards. Your name still comes to me in the night and clings to my sheets like you did once long ago. But if Gatsby had let go of the green light he would have lived. I want to live.

Gatsby
I need to stop romanticizing the past. I'm walking backwards instead of forwards. Your name still comes to me in the night and clings to my sheets like you did once long ago. But if Gatsby had let go of the green light he would have lived. I want to live.
