“when you are broken
and he has left you
do not question
whether you were
enough
the problem was
you were so enough
he was not able to carry it”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“No Better Gift"

When the ocean comes to you as a lover,
marry, at once, quickly,
for God’s sake!
Don’t postpone it!
Existence has no better gift.
No amount of searching
will find this.
A perfect falcon, for no reason,
has landed on your shoulder,
and become yours.”
― Rumi, The Book of Love: Poems of Ecstasy and Longing

“Raise your words, not your voice,
it is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
― Rumi, The Love Poems of Rumi
