And if you are to love,
Love as the moon loves.
It doesn't steal the night,
It only unveils the beauty of the dark.

And if you are to love,
Love as the rain loves.
It doesn't wet the bodies,
It only washes the sad dirt of the souls.

And if you are to love,
Love as the wind loves.
It doesn't drift away,
It only cleanse you to the core by invading through each pore.

And if you are to love,
Love as the sun loves.
It doesn't radiates heat,
It only pours its warmth on you to enlighten your way.

And if you are to love,
Love as the star loves.
It doesn't delightfully twinkles,
It only reminds you that not even death can separate two hearts.

And so forth,
if you are to love
Love as the whole universe
& not just a part of it.

you are not who
everybody wants you to be

you are you
and that is far
more than enough

It’s the little things
That go unnoticed first.

I didn’t notice when
My dad got a haircut
My mom got new glasses?
I didn’t notice.
My friend bought a new dress.
Oh, I didn’t even realize.

But then the little things
Become bigger things.

My brother got a new car.
My sister got engaged.
My boyfriend switched schools.

And then they become
Really big things.

My dad had an affair.
My mom filed for divorce.
My best friend moved across the world.
My brother got put in prison.
My sister didn’t invite me to the wedding.
My boyfriend left me for someone else.

And quickly
My life is in ruins
Lying like a broken city
Scattered all over the ground
And I didn’t even notice
When all of this happened

Everything fell apart
Right in front of my eyes
And I didn't even notice.
Life is full of strife,
If you have lost something  in life,
Remember one thing,
What you have lost is nothing,
Compared to what you have gained,
It fills you with profound joys unexplained.
What you don't have is just a dream,
What you have is beyond your dreams,
Hold on to it,
Every little bit.
Your family,your relations and your dignity,
Your dignity is your pride in society,
Your family, your pearls,your precious treasure,
Your relations,your world, has no measure.
Be happy and satisfied with what you have.It is enough.Little things and people close to you matter the most.

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived
She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.
Bid goodbye
to the dreams
you left behind.
They are no
reason to lose sleep.
