Accompanying Tweets to The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan: L

label, n.:  I know you think of me as The Quiet One or The Weaker One or The Overthinking One, but all I want is to be The One.

labor, n.:  I know you think the sentences come easily, but they don’t.  It takes strength to lift words and put them in the right place.

labyrinth, n.: We'll never get out of it, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy our time inside. A maze as big as the world is enough space.

lackadaisical, adj.:  You’re so charming as you put things off, but I can’t help but be put off by it nonetheless.

lackey, n.:  I will ask you to fetch something not because I’m lazy, but because I want to correct the laziness imbalance in our household.

lackluster, adj.:  All shines fade over time, but I don’t mind seeing the real surface beneath. There is a less illusory beauty there.

laconic, adj.:  Decaffeinated.

lacuna, n.:

ladder, n.:  I don’t need you at the top – I need you holding it steady.
