Samar Alshareef

“But it was now time for her to go away—to find someone who could show her what happiness was.”
― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

“إن الحس الديني ليس عائقاً للخيال إذا قام على تفلسف ، لأن الحس الديني المتفلسف يجتاز عالم المنظورات إلى ملكوت السموات و الفراديس ، و هذا يمد آفاق التخيل الشعري ، لأن الإيماء إلى عوالم غير مشهودة يجنح رهافة الرؤية”
― عبد الله البردوني, الثقافة والثورة في اليمن

“Souls"
When two souls fall in love, there is nothing else but the
yearning to be close to the other. The presence that is felt
through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.

Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand
the notion of time or distance. They only know it feels right to
be with one another.

This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they
are not there— even if they are only in the very next room.
Your soul only feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the
separation is temporary.”
― Lang Leav

“Here are the things I want for you -

I want you to be happy. I want someone else to know the warmth of your smile, to feel the way I did when I was in your presence.

I want you to know how happy you once made me and though you really did hurt me, in the end, I was better for it. I don't know if what we had was love, but if it wasn't, I hope to never fall in love. Because of you, I know I am too fragile to bear it.

I want you to remember my lips beneath your fingers and how you told me things you never told another soul. I want you to know that I have kept sacred, everything you had entrusted in me and I always will.

Finally, I want you to know how sorry I am for pushing you away when I had only meant to bring you closer. And if I ever felt like home to you, it was because you were safe with me. - I want you to know that most of all.”
― Lang Leav, Lullabies
