What Was He Supposed To Do? Forget Her Like A Vivid Dream? Or Remember Her Like A Distant Reality?

नैनों से बहते मेरे नैना

जुदाई को सहते मेरे नैना

"It's just that I need to speak to someone.

Not someone. You"

—One Day

Until it was nothing more than a gray paper moon, hanging in the sky.

1Q84, Haruki Murakami, Book 3

Sometimes, she is too much of everything—too sensitive,too generous, too intense, too adorable, too accepting.

She is mad, the kind of mad that makes you fall in love, and she doesn’t need much—some books to read, a warm touch, someone to love and to be loved.

—Something I'm Waiting to Tell You by Shravya Bhinder

"I sense that I am slowly letting go. That I'm growing less in love with you every single day. I think that's the most difficult thing about losing someone you've loved, the way you feel never really dies all at once. All you can do is wait and watch it fade away one day at a time."

- Beau Taplin

क्या आप मुझ पर खफ़ा हैं?

ये सासे जो पुकारती है मुझे, आपके हैं?

नस-नस में जो खून बेह रहा हैं,

न जाने कहाँ जा रहा हैं

काश इस जिंदगी ने बोल दी होती

सासे लेना क्या गुनाह हैं मेरी?

THE SONG OF ACHILLES || Madeline Miller

The feminine urge to love them with your whole heart even when you know it will never be reciprocated.

If you ever unlove me, have the guts to tell it to my face. Otherwise you are a coward.

-Srijita Sarkar
