The Furthest Distance In The World
The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you Yet you don't know I love you
The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you cannot see my love Rather, when doubtlessly loving each other Yet is fated not to be together
The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while in-love But when I cannot resist my yearning Yet pretending That you were never in my heart
The furthest distance in the world Is not pretending you were never in my heart But willingly digging upon the cold heart An uncrossable river for the beloved
So the furthest distance in the world is not among distant trees It is between same-rooted branches Yet can never lean nor touch
So the furthest distance in the world Is not in the separated branches It is between the distant stars As their paths can never cross
So the furthest distance in the world Is not when stars can never cross But it is when they align But only leaving A memory of brightness
So the furthest distance in the world Is not the light that is fading away It is this coincidence That we are not supposed to love
So the furthest distance in the world Is the love between the Fish and the Bird While one is lingering over the sky The other can only look upon in the sea
The Furthest Distance In The World By Zhang Xiaoxian (Translated by me)

“This reminded me of you” is such a tender sentence. Oh to have impacted someone so much that they find bits of your soul and hold the memory of you in things and places when you’re not around.

“I feel very small. I don’t understand. I have so much courage, fire, energy, for many things, yet I get so hurt, so wounded by small things.”

arabic poetry is so beautifully yet painfully romantic, i mean “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" and “because my love for you is higher than words, i've decided to fall silent" could have got jane austen crying and shaking
