Time is not ones friend

Time and time again

I thought I knew

You

Enemy or ally

Trapped or be free

To walk away

To bury it all

To smile and surrounded

To cry and uncertainty

If I knew

I can walk

If I knew

I am free

If I knew

Time might side with me

Who are you all this time?

Why keep it

And hold it

There’s no time

Time is not my friend

Time and time again

why do all the words sound heavier in my native language? scratch that. why did I choose to seek refuge in a language of another instead of training my tongue to bear the heaviness of my own?

Ramadan Musings

I can do a lot for my family or the people I serve, but humans forget, as they do. But Allah s.w.t never forgets, and thats the beauty of Islam.

Hold on to this.

If you believe in Allah s.w.t and this religion, you’ll find solace knowing that He does not forget nor forsaken you. And that is all that matters, that is enough.

Can't you see how beautiful a true uniqueness can be?

Long answers are too personal, short ones will do.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yes because I rather be miserable with you than without you.

Euphoria (2019– )

[jourlesbest]

He asked me when I fell in love with him and I knew it sounded dramatic to say the moment I saw him, so I told him this story of my grandma who had Alzheimer's- she forgot her name and the words for fruit and food, she forgot her address and how to use the washroom, all her life lost to the disease. The only thing she remembered was her son's name and when that began to fade, the one thing she always remembered was that she loved him, even in illness, even in insanity. She saw this 6 foot 2 man with a scrubby beard and she didn't know him but she said she trusted him, she asked him to hold her hand when she died. When does memory end and love begin? All I know is- she loved him before she remembered him.

I just want to dedicate every minute of my life to you until I get tired and die by your side. 🗝️ 〰︎ ·˚｡
