أعرف

ونحن على رصيف المحطة

آنك تنتظرين رجلا آخر

I knew

while we were on the station platform

that you were waiting for another man,

وآعرف وآنا آحمل حقائبك

آنك ستسافرين مع رجل آخر

I knew

while I was carrying your luggage

that you would be traveling with another man

وآعرف آنني لم آكن سوى مروحة صينية

خففت عنك حرارة الصيف

I knew that I was

no more than disposable Chinese fan

used to shield you

from the heat of the summer.

آعرف آيضا

آن رسائل الحب التي كتبتها لك

لم تكن سوى مرايا..رآيت فيها غرورك

I also knew

that the love letters I wrote you

were not more than mirrors

to reflect your pride.

ومع هذا

سآحمل حقائبك..وحقائب حبيبك

In spite of that,

I will carry your luggage

and your lover's luggage

لانني آستحي آن آصفع امرآة

تحمل في حقيبة يدها البيضاء

آحلى آيام حياتي

Because I cannot

Slap a woman

Who carries in her white handbag

The sweetest days of my life.

if i was a star and you were a star i would wink at you and blink at you and twinkle at you and the earthlings would call it science.

i cannot BELIEVE people sleep on the lyrics: “i know i’m just a wrinkle in your new life, staying friends would iron it out so nice. guilty, guilty, reaching out across the sea that you put between you and me but it’s FAKE and oh so unnecessary”

society's infantilization of decorated objects is honestly one of the greatest recent crimes against humans' innate desire for beauty

"the toothbrush/hairbrush/bike/vanity desk with flowers on it is For Kids! this plain beige one is For Adults!"

I am literally throwing you into a volcano

we are so obsessed with beauty that we forget that love has nothing to do with beauty. love doesn’t presuppose beauty: love creates it. beauty is a finite thing, love is not. beauty cannot come before love, but love makes anything beautiful.
