I reread our texts. I cry to the words that made me laugh.
I hold onto to my crumbling self, as it drifts apart in your memories.
चुपके चुपके रात दिन आँसू बहाना याद हैं
हम को अब तक आशिकी का वो ज़माना याद हैं
I still recall when first I fell in love
The silent tears I shed, all night, all day.
~ Hasrat Mohani, Translated by Ralph Russell
He's obsessed with her body right now. She likes him like this—kissing every part of her like he's deriving life force from it.
—When I am with you, Durjoy Datta.
Just want to Live, Laugh, Love. Why is it so hard?!
मैं जग-जीवन का भार लिए फिरता हूँ ,
फिर भी जीवन में प्यार लिए फिरता हूँ ;
कर दिया किसी ने झंकृत जिनको छु कर
मैं साँसों के दो तार लिए फिरता हूँ !
I live with the burden of the world
Yet, I live with love in my life
Someone's love has touch
The two strings of my breath
~आत्म परिचय- हरिवंश राय बच्चन
~Aatmaparichay, Harivansh Rai Bachchan
Love can't cure a mental illness.

When Mahmoud Darwish said, "A University degree, four books and hundereds of articles and I still make mistakes when reading. You wrote me 'good morning' and I read it as 'I love you'."

"If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person."

—Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
You were one wish away. But sadly, there were no shooting stars on the night sky
Understanding is but the sum of our misunderstandings.
