Just read that in Turkey some people don't say "I love you" instead they say "ruhum ruhun, ruhun ruhum olsun" which means "let my soul be your soul, let your soul be my soul" and that's so beautiful.

[mysterieuxclairdelune]

And in french they don't just say "I miss you" instead they say "tu me manques et tu me manques" which means " you are missing from me and I am missing from you" and I love that...✨

I don't know if you do asks, and if you don't I'm sorry for bothering you with this but if you do, could you do a web weaving on heartbreak over someone you never dated?

Again I'm sorry if I'm asking and you don't even take asks

You can suffer nostalgia in the presence of beloved if you glimpse a future where beloved is no more

The heart is the toughest part of the body. Tenderness is in the hands.

(from Carolyn Forché's The Country Between Us)

Hands are unbearably beautiful. They hold on to things. They let things go.

- Mary Reufle -

Take my hands in your hands, teach me to remember, teach me not to remember.

(from H.D.'s piece, "Helen in Egypt")

My hands wanted to touch your hands because we had hands.

(from Frank Bidart's poem, In the Western Light)

We held hands.

I was wondering what it would be like to have a home of your own where you could come and go, where people would be welcome, where you would never be frightened again.

-Jeanette Winterson, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal

Holding Hands

A Love Language

[guloona]

لاس د مینې راکړه

رانه ټوله دنیا هیړا کړه

hold my hand with love,

and help me forget the rest of the world.
