Quote by Khaled Ibrahim

“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.”

“Do you get lonely?” I meant it in the most innocent way possible, but as soon as it sneaks out, I tingle with embarrassment. But he just studies me seriously, like it’s a perfectly normal thing to ask someone you very clearly want to sleep with. “Sometimes I . . .” He hesitates. “You can tell me,” I say, almost a whisper. His jaw muscles leap. “Sometimes I just miss this. Being close to someone. Being touched. Not just sex, I mean.”
