    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I want to see you.

    Know your voice.

    Recognize you when you
    first come 'round the corner.

    Sense your scent when I come
    into a room you've just left.

    Know the lift of your heel,
    the glide of your foot.

    Become familiar with the way
    you purse your lips
    then let them part,
    just the slightest bit,
    when I lean in to your space
    and kiss you.

    I want to know the joy
    of how you whisper
    "more”
    ― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

    “You try to be faithful
    And sometimes you're cruel.
    You are mine. Then, you leave.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    And when you take the lead,
    I become your footstep.
    Your absence leaves a void.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    You have disturbed my sleep,
    You have wrecked my image.
    You have set me apart.
    Without you, I can't cope.”
