گئے موسم میں جو کِھلتے تھے گلابوں کی طرح
دل پہ اُتریں گے وہی خواب عذابوں کی طرح
Like roses that bloomed last season
The same dreams will descend on the heart like torments
_Parveen Shakir // پروین شاکر
Have you ever loved a song because of a particular person? But when that person and you drifted apart, it ruined the song for you, 'cause you no longer feel the same emotions as you once felt while listening to it </3
मैं जग-जीवन का भार लिए फिरता हूँ ,
फिर भी जीवन में प्यार लिए फिरता हूँ ;
कर दिया किसी ने झंकृत जिनको छु कर
मैं साँसों के दो तार लिए फिरता हूँ !
I live with the burden of the world
Yet, I live with love in my life
Someone's love has touch
The two strings of my breath
~आत्म परिचय- हरिवंश राय बच्चन
~Aatmaparichay, Harivansh Rai Bachchan
I pretend to be scared to cross the road just to hold your hand
Oh, things I do to be near you.
“Numbing the pain is not the same as healing it,” Master Sameed said. “When the anesthesia wears off, the pain is still there.”
"I sense that I am slowly letting go. That I'm growing less in love with you every single day. I think that's the most difficult thing about losing someone you've loved, the way you feel never really dies all at once. All you can do is wait and watch it fade away one day at a time."

lovers in the garden
Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.
"I have a butterfly for a heart, it bumbles and flutters.. flying like a little lover of stars. It lands on your finger, in your chest, and it lingers a little longer on your vest.. it flies to the heavens and back with wishes on it's little back, and then.. well, then it feeds off of the pollen of your smile as a snack. And then it mates with your soul to sedate the moons glow, saying let the love flow.."
If I had a butterfly for a heart, I wouldn't mind if it was in your stomach - eUë
"I have never loved a man as I love you, and I never shall again."
