If you think seeing a naked woman
is a disappointment
because what you had imagined was so much
better than what was there, may I suggest looking at it in a new way.Maybe instead of pondering
the tentacles and mouths beneath
her clothes,
you could ponder the bright things
that lurk beneath…
Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,
Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.-Hafez
One.
Some people say that fighting can bring you closer, and I believed that, but we’ve been fighting, and I felt as if we were being stretched apart.
You’ve never really fought back, and I guess, deep in the corner of my heart, I wanted you to fight, fight for yourself.
And so, the other night, we fought, we fought fiercely, like we never did before, and this time, you fought back.
And you told me how you’ve always given in to me, given in to me because you love me, because you didn’t want to lose me, because you were weak, with me.
But, not anymore, not that night.
And I felt it. Finally. I felt it.
I’ve always felt like we weren’t really suited, different. And I thought that it had not mattered, or it did, I kept changing my mind because perhaps, at times I thought love would prevail all, and other times, it was simply the question of if love was enough?
But, okay, now, I believe, I believe that I love you, I love you more fiercely than I have ever known, because you have accepted me for all my flaws, and you have chosen to change yourself to be fitting to me and I think that is amazing dedication, because I, for one, had such a strong belief in myself that I would not have chosen another person (until I knew that it was worth it), over myself.
And so, we both will try, willingly, because yes, we love each other, and we must work together, not only you, alone, but the two of us, two beating hearts, as one.
And I have never felt so binded to you..
Go, go if you must
and I will lie here waiting
for you to come back.
