and i fear that my place will get taken by someone else, very lucky and not too shy, who flirts with your eyes while i am the one who's crazy about them.

You’ve talked about love
About wishing to marry a person who chooses you every day of their life
I would be honored to be that person, but I want you to be happy first
And I hope you find that person who loves you as much as I do, or more
May the distance between us not be a waste, instead a phase which leaves us and I get to see you again, happy in your own life.
— Charles Bukowski, from Love Is a Dog from Hell
i don't love you with my heart and mind. i love you with my soul, in case my mind forgets and my heart stops.
— Franz Kafka, from “Letters to Milena.”
in another universe, i kiss you goodnight every night. i hold your hand as we fall asleep. we are together and in love and you are not so far away
"ab ke hum bichray tou shayad kahin khwabon me milain, jis tarha sookhay huay phool kitabon mein milain."
"If we part, may we find each other in a dream, just like dried flowers are found in old books."
-Faraz
"I have never loved before as I love you, with such tenderness to the point of tears and with such a sense of radiance."
-Vladimir Nabokov (b. 22 April 1899) in his letter - to future wife Vera Yevseyevna Slonim dated November 1923, Letters To Véra
ليتنا أنا و أنت جئنا الى العالم قبل اختراع التلفزيون والسينما لنعرف هل هذا حب حقاً أم أننا نتقمص ما نراه
If only you and I had come to the world before the invention of television and cinema, to know whether this is really loving, or are we imitating what we see.
- Ahmed Khaled Tawfik
