“I love you,” I tell her. ”I love you because all the loves in the world are like different rivers flowing into the same lake, where they meet and are transformed into a single love that becomes rain and blesses the earth.
“I love you like a river that creates the right conditions for trees and bushes and flowers to flourish along its banks. I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.
” I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.
“I love you like a river that begins as a solitary trickle in the mountains and gradually grows and joins other rivers until, after a certain point, it can flow around any obstacle in order to get where it wants.
“I receive your love, and I give you mine. Not the love of a man for a woman, not the love of a father for a child, not the love of God for his creatures, but a love with no name and no explanation, like a river that cannot explain why it follows a particular course but simply flows onward. A love that asks for nothing and gives nothing in return; it is simply there. I will never be yours, and you will never be mine; nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you, I love you, I love you”.
from “Aleph” by Paulo Coelho
Let me bloom
Let me breath
Let me live
Let me fly
And let me die
With you.
I’m sorry
for everything
every damn word
uttered
in the preferred
deafening silence
I’m sorry
for smiling
encouraging
the dreams
I’m sorry
I held you hand
and wrapped you
in the blanket
of my unwanted
warmth
I’m sorry
that I care
that I love you
that you wanted
to be rid of me
I hate you this morning I hate the way your smile Shines so effin’ bright The way your lips hold it Suspended perfectly in place I hate the beauty your face Possesses Cause it possesses… me I hate, I cannot whisper in your ear Little Something’s That will cause you to giggle, cause the words tickle I hate that I can’t Wallow in your morning scent While the strands of your hair Harass my nose And I don’t care, cause I’m trying to take deeper Breaths of you I hate that you know these lines form for you like morning dew covering every singular blade of grass across a fields of lilies and daisies I hate how corny that last lines was But because of you I wasn’t afraid to Say it…anyway I hate you this morning Cause I’m beginning to Love You, again!

You yourself,
as much as anybody in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection.
when was the last time I loved
I mean truly loved
A high school romance
A meeting at a bus stop
Strangers
Enemies
What is love?
A reason to live
A reason to die
The most I ever felt was pain
And emptiness inside
Love is the reason I get up
Love is the reason I lay down

If someone wants to be a part of your life,
they will be there.
Don’t bother saving a spot for someone,
who won’t make an effort to stay.
Breathing in, the air is sweet;
your scent still lingers on the
wings of a hummingbird, still,
unseen but there, silently
permeating receptive pores,
with the grace and elegance
of who you are. I still feel your
beauty through the distance
that separates us.
Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.
- Rumi
