“ومع مرور الأيام، أحببتُ ما كنتُ أكره، وألفتُ ما كنتُ أبغض، وتخليتُ عمّا كنتُ أعشق، حتى بتُّ أسأل من أكون؟ As the days passed, I grew fond of what I once despised, found comfort in what once unsettled me, and let go of what once defined my soul — until I was left wondering who I had become.”

“I write only... To rid myself of what has clung to my heart. I don’t want it, even if it holds my salvation. I seek innocence from every pain it left behind, And to rise above their abandonment when I needed them most. I long to erase them from my memory, as if they never were, To empty this sorrow that has settled in my chest, Then walk away… without turning back. But deep within me, What I fear most of all... Is that I may never stop writing.”

“I loved you unconditionally — for you, not for anything else. I loved you without ever seeing you, without even hearing your voice. I loved you despite everything, and never grew tired. I loved you with complete honesty, as if you were my first… and last love. And yet, all of that was not enough. You were the punishment I deserved… as if love itself were my sin.”

“It wasn’t just a coincidence — it was all meant to happen. I walked hundreds of miles, wandered through streets and alleyways, drifting along strange paths with no sense of direction. I searched for you in every passing face, certain you were among them. Until I saw that look drawn across your forehead… and only then, did I realize — you were never the one I was searching for.”

“...بوسعك دائمًا أن تضحي بما أحببت ،حينما تغدو الملاجئ ساحات حرب ،وحين يغلب ظلها نورك .وحين يصبح التمسك بها موتًا بطيئًا لروحك You can always sacrifice things you loved… when they become battlefields instead of shelters, when their shadows eclipse your lights, when holding on means watching yourself wither.”

“I envisioned it all: how we would grow together, how we’d mend every rift with tenderness, how each of us would be the guardian of the other's heart, how we'd chase our dreams side by side, how we'd weather every storm that tried to shake our peace, how... and how... and how... I envisioned everything— everything but the ending. I forgot you were quietly sketching a different journey... one that didn’t include me.”
