“Each moment with you is a verse in the poetry of my heart.”
Rendi Ansyah, Beyond the Bouquet: A Symphony of Love in Fifty Movements

Aura Biru
“Did his behaviour indicate a red flag?
Massively.
Did I notice it?
Probably.
Did I deliberately choose to ignore it because he was just.so.different?
Absolutely.
Did I feel ashamed for not knowing better, despite knowing better?
Constantly.”
Aura Biru, We Are Everyone
