“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
― Bob Marley

“That’s what it feels like when you touch me. Like millions of tiny universes being born and then dying in the space between your finger and my skin. Sometimes I forget.”
― Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

“i want to be
in love with you

the same way
i am in
love with the moon

with the light
shining
out of its soul.”

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“So many books, so little time.”
― Frank Zappa

“You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“I shouldn't have to be a liar to make someone love me. I shouldn't be so afraid of losing someone that I'll do anything to make them stay.”
― Deb Caletti, The Six Rules of Maybe

“the world is not a pleasant place to be without someone to hold and be held by.”
― Nikki Giovanni

“Love is not something you protect. It’s something you risk.”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Year

“At the end of the day, whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present doesn't change.”
― Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the Coffee Gets Cold

“For my entire life I longed for love. I knew it was not right for me — as a girl and later as a woman — to want or expect it, but I did, and this unjustified desire has been at the root of every problem I have experienced in my life.”
― Lisa See, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

“When I knew I couldn't suffer another moment of pain, and tears fell on my bloody bindings, my mother spoke softly into my ear, encouraging me to go one more hour, one more day, one more week, reminding me of the rewards I would have if I carried on a little longer. In this way, she taught me how to endure — not just the physical trials of footbinding and childbearing but the more torturous pain of the heart, mind, and soul.”
― Lisa See, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

“I am still learning about love. I thought I understood it--not just mother love, but the love for one's parents, for one's husband, and for one's laotong. I've experienced the other types of love--pity love, respectful love and gratitude love. But looking at our secret fan with its messages written between Snow Flower and me over many years, I see that I didn't value the most important love--deep-heart love.”
― Lisa See, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

“المرأة قد تكون يائسة ولكن لا ينبغي عليها أبدا ان تسمح لأحد برؤيتها في مستوى أقل من مستوى المرأة الراقية”
― Lisa See, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

“وعدتك أن لا أحبك ....ثم أمام القرار الكبير ...جبنت ..


وعدتك أن لا أعود ..وعدت ...

وعدتك أن لا أموت إشتياقا ...ومت ..

وعدت مرارا ..وقررت أن أستقيل ... مرارا ..

ولا أذكر أني إستقلت ..

وعدت بأشياء أكبر مني ...فماذا غدا ستقول الجرائد عني ..

أكيد .. ستكتب أني جننت ..أكيد ... ستكتب أني إنتحرت ...

وعدتك أن لا أكون ضعيفا ..وكنت ...

وعدتك أن لا أقول بعينيك شعرا ..وقلت ..

وعدت ...بأن لا ... وأن لا ..وأن لا ...

وحين إكتشفت غبائي ...ضحكت ...

وعدتك أن لا أبالي ...بشعرك حين يمر أمامي ...

وحين تدفق كالليل فوق الرصيف ...صرخت ..

وعدتك أن أتجاهل عينيك ...مهما دعاني الحنين ..

وحين رأيتهما تمطران نجوما ...شهقت ..

وعدتك أن لا أوجه ..أية رسالة حب إليك ..

ولكنني رغم أنفي ... كتبت ...

وعدتك أن لا أكون بأي مكان ...تكونين فيه ..

وحين عرفت بأنك مدعوة للعشاء ..ذهبت ..

وعدتك أن لا أحبك ...كيف ؟... وأين ؟ ...

وفي أي يوم وعدت ؟؟؟...

لقد كنت أكذب ..من شدة الصدق ...

والحمدلله أني كذبت ...





وعدت بكل برود .. وكل غباء ...بإحراق كل الجسور ورائي ...

وقررت بالسر ..قتل جميع النساء ...

وأعلنت حربي عليك ...وحين رأيت يديك المسالمتين ...إختجلت ...


وعدت ...بأن لا ... وأن لا ...

وكانت جميع وعودي ...دخانا وبعثرته في الهواء ...

وعدتك أن لا أتلفن ليلا ...وأن لا أفكر فيك إذا تمرضين ...

وأن لا أخاف عليك ....وأن لا أقدم وردا ..

وأن لا أبوس يديك ..وتلفنت ليلا على الرغم مني ...

وأرسلت وردا على الرغم مني ...وبستك من بين عينيك ...حتى شبعت ...


وعدت ..بأن لا ...وأن لا ..وحين إكتشفت غبائي ...ضحكت ...


وعدت بذبحك خمسين مرة ....وحين رأيت الدماء تغطي ثيابي ..

تأكدت بأني الذي ...قد ذبحت ...

فلا تأخذيني على محمل الجد ...

مهما غضبت ... ومهما إنفعلت ...

ومهما إشتعلت ... ومهما إنطفأت ..

لقد كنت أكذب .. من شدة الصدق ..

والحمد لله أني كذبت ...

وعدتك أن أحسم الأمر فورا ..وحين رأيت الدموع ..تهرهر من مقلتيك ... إرتبكت ..


وحين رأيت الحقائب في الأرض ...أدركت أنك لا تقتلين ...بهذه السهوله ..


فأنت البلاد ... وأنت القبيله ..وأنت القصيدة قبل التكون ..أنت الطفوله ...


وعدت بإلغاء عينيك ...من دفتر ذكرياتي ..

ولم أكن أعلم ..أني ألغي حياتي ..

ولم أكن أعلم أنك ...رغم الخلاف الصغير أنا ..وأنني أنت ...


وعدتك أن لا أحبك ...ياللحماقة ..ماذا بنفسي فعلت ..


لقد كنت أكذب من شدة الصدق ...

والحمدلله أني كذبت ..

وعدتك أن لا أكون هنا ...بعد خمس دقائق ..

ولكن إلى أين أذهب ؟؟ ..إن الشوارع مغسولة بالمطر ...

إلى أين أدخل ؟؟..إن مقاهي المدينة ...مسكونة بالضجر ..


إلى أين أبحر وحدي ؟؟...وأنت البحار ... وأنت القلوع ..وأنت السفر ...


فهل من الممكن أن أظل ...لعشر دقائق أخرى ...لحين إنقطاع المطر ...


أكيد بأني سأرحل ...

بعد رحيل الغيوم ..

وبعد هدوء الرياح ...

وإلا فسأنزل ضيفا عليك ...

إلى أن يجيء الصباح ...

وعدتك أن لا أحبك ...مثل المجانين ...فى ... المرة الثانية


وأن لا أهاجم مثل العصافير ...أشجار تفاحك العالية ..

وأن لا أمشط شعرك ..حين تنامين ...

ياقطتي الغالية ...

وعدتك أن لا أضيع ...بقية عقلي ..

إذا ماسقطت على جسدي ...نجمة حافية ...

وعدت بكبح جماح جنوني ...ويسعدني أنني لا أزال ..شديد التطرف حين أحب ..


تماما كما كنت ..

في السنة الماضية ..وعدتك أن لا أخبئ ...وجهي بغابات شعرك ...


طيلة عام ..

وأن لا أصيد المحار ...على رماد عينيك ...

طيلة عام ...

فكيف أقول كلاما سخيفا ...كهذا الكلام ...

وعيناك داري ...

ودار سلام ..

وكيف سمحت لنفسي ...بجرح شعور الرخام ...

وبيني وبينك ...خبز ... وملح ..وشدو حمام ..

..

وأنت البداية في كل شيء ...ومسك الختام ...

وعدتك أن لا أعود ...وعدت ...

وأن لا أموت إشتياقا ....ومت...

وعدت بأشياء أكبر مني ...فماذا بنفسي فعلت ...

لقد كنت أكذب ...من شدة الصدق ..

والحمد لله ...

أنني كذبت ...
