Wanna know what love is?

Love is crying with laughter as your mom yells at you, cause hey at least she’s talking to you now.

Love is being silent when your brother cries out to you in need, because to answer is to enable him.

Love is turning away when all you want to do is bend down and kiss the the woman who the winds sing to you about, that the sun shines in honor of, and the moon is a pale reflection of her beauty ,because to do that is to betray your faith, your morals and  your Lord. 

Love is leaving the land that is in your bones, that caressed you as a child, that  kissed you as you played and took the sickness from your blood to keep you safe,  only to follow the path that might allow you to carry the burdens of the world, your world, your loved ones.

Thats what love is. Self restraint. Duty. Sacrifice.

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

But what do you do when neither art, nor writing, nor speaking, nor screaming, nor moving, nor living is enough to say what you need to say? To show what you see? To echo what you hear?

You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.
