“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

“Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!”

“I drew him in my world;
I write him in my lines,
I want to be his girl,
he was never meant as mine.

I drew him in my world;
He is always on my mind;
I draw his every line.
It hurts when he's unkind.

I drew him in my world;
I draw him all the time,
but I don't know where to draw the line.”
― Lang Leav, Lullabies (Volume 2)

“It happens like this.

"One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."

Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

“فليتك تحلو والحياة مريرة
وليتك ترضى والأنام غضابُ

وليت الذي بيني وبينك عامر
وبيني وبين العالمين خرابُ

إذا صح منك الود فالكل هين
وكل الذي فوق التراب ترابُ”
― أبو فراس الحمداني

“مغرم، مؤلم، جريح، أسير..
إنّ قَلْباً، يُطِيقُ ذا، لَصَبُور

“أساءَ، فزادتهُ الإساءةُ حُظوَةً
حبيبٌ على ماكان منهُ، حبيبُ
يَعُدُّ عليّ العاذلون ذنوبهُ
ومن أين للوجهِ المَليحِ ذنوبُ
فيا أيها الجاني، ونسألهُ الرضا
ويا أيها الجاني، ونحن نتوبُ.”
― أبو فراس الحمداني, ديوان أبي فراس الحمداني
