“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”
Warsan Shire

“I shall do one thing in this life - one thing certain - that is, love you, and long for you, and keep wanting you till I die.”
Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd

Warsan Shire
“My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude.”
Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“two people who were once very close can

Warsan Shire
