“what i miss most is how you loved me. but what i didn't know was how you loved me had so much to do with the person i was. it was a reflection of everything i gave you. coming back to me. how did i not see that. how. did i sit here soaking in the idea that no one else would love me that way. when it was i that taught you. when it was i that showed you how to fill. the way i needed to be filled. how cruel i was to myself. giving you credit for my warmth simply because you had felt it. thinking it was you who gave me strength. wit. beauty. simply because you recognized it. as if i was already not these things before i met you. as if i did not remain all these things after you left.”

“يبحث الواحدُ عن الحبّ ثم لا يعرف ما الذي يصنع به. تقبضُ اليد على اليدِ ثم تخاف أن يقيّدها ما تقبضُ عليه. يتردد في الأذن صوتُ بعينه ثمّ لا تحتمل أن تحتفظ به يومًا آخر. كأنّي أحدّق في عتمة الرحم بحثًا عن البويضة السعيدة، أنتظر معها عقودًا ملتصقة مثلها بالجدار، لحظة النضج والتحرر، الدفء والتحقق، الالتحام والخلق ثمّ لا أعرف إذا كانت الحياة تحتاج حقًا طفلاً آخر أم لا. الحبّ مرة أخرى، ياللوهم الرائع الذي نصنعه ونتقنه.”
