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?

“If you want to kill somebody, conquer his heart, Then leave slowly and leave them between death and madness.”
