{Don't worry…
My sweetest.
You are in my poetry, and in my words. You might grow old in years,
But you are ever young in my pages.}

arabic poetry that reminds me of how men should love:
They asked "do you love her to death?" I said, "speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life"
"How can words carry to you what I carry in my heart?"
"If you are not mine, then why does your name beat in my heart like a pulse?"
What do I have to do to get a man who speaks to me like a poet?

but in october two years back, i knew not the way you'd consume me, had no idea that i'd be writing letters & throwing them away. not a single clue that my eyes will betray the beauty of october & autumn to look at you, or that i'd use october's love(the wilted leaves) to mark my own.
