“Love doesn't solely consist of books, films, and music and sharing the same past.
It consists of the present and the future.
It consists of the understanding that you want to grow and prosper together. That you don't solely look at each other but also look in the same direction.
We faced different directions, and it's no use to stick to that.
We would waste away our time. We only live once. We're obliged to fill our time how we honestly, sincerely, want it to be.
My darling, sometimes love isn't enough.
Ours we have lost in a time in which both of us kept moving without looking at each other.
You will always be a part of me, and I will remain a part of you. You were a good chapter, but never more than that.”

“You are one woman in an endless line of women who were chosen to love more passionately than others, be committed to justice more fervently than others, and seek our Maker’s higher expressions more reflectively than others.”

“I have to write.
I have to write and re-write myself in all that's hidden within me.
The unspoken heart is the place I need to travel to,
to rediscover the language that I had lost.
I felt and hoped myself empty in dreams that never belonged to me.
So how can I be with myself?
My heart struggled itself out of my body, lying shattered in pieces all over the places I've never been to and won't ever be, while my head is the only thing remaining, dethinking itself in all that hadn't been and won't ever be.”

“silent lies become a whispered truth
as my misery fades
like a symphony, coloured in blue
my heart still answering to your echo
lingering in this body of mine
don't you hide your soul away
don't you keep it in disguise
this heart of mine –
it doesn't compromise”

the past is past
the bygone days
cannot be filled with life
we are no time travellers”

“When I think back to the first time we met, it feels like a dream," you said, only a few days later.
And thus you voiced what came true only a few months later.
It had been a dream.
[...]
"Even then, you have sealed our preterite," I said.
"Why do you say something like this," you asked me.
"Because we never had the chance to share the present.”

who doesn't want to change himself
is like cosmetic surgery
on cancer patients”
