There were certain things that you hit from different angles, but you never gave up on. You did the work that was needed, wherever that work took you.
“I’m tired, can’t think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.”

“I’m thinking only of my illness and my health, though both, the first as well as the second, are you.”

“I want in fact more of you. In my mind I am dressing you with light; I am wrapping you up in blankets of complete acceptance and then I give myself to you. I long for you; I who usually long without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.”

“إن لي قُدرة لم أعرف مثلها في حياتي على تصورك ورؤيتك، وحين أرى منظرًا أو أسمع كلمة وأعلق عليها بيني وبين نفسي أسمع جوابك في أذني، كأنك واقفة إلى جواري ويدك في يدي. أحيانًا أسمعكِ تضحكين وأحيانًا أسمعكِ ترفضين رأيي وأحيانًا تسبقيني إلى التعليق، وأنظر إلى عيون الواقفين أمامي لأرى إن كانوا قد لمحوك معي!”

“When one is alone, imperfection must be endured every minute of the day; a couple, however, does not have to put up with it. Aren’t our eyes made to be torn out, and our hearts for the same purpose? At the same time it’s really not that bad; that’s an exaggeration and a lie, everything is exaggeration, the only truth is longing. But even the truth of longing is not so much its own truth; it’s really an expression for everything else, which is a lie. This sounds crazy and distorted, but it’s true. Moreover, perhaps it isn’t love when I say you are what I love the most - you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love. This, my dear, is love.”
