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.
- Nizar Qabbani

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

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.
