whose arms QUOTES

1 " They say marry the person with whom you are the closest to, the guy with whom you can share your 3 am thoughts with, sitting on a rooftop and discussing random things like why cavemen were hirsute or why the earth isn’t a square. The genie who knows what you want before you open your mouth. The angel who reads your mind before you can articulate your thoughts. The friend you can laugh and cry with. The brother whose arms are safer than any amount of security and protection the outside world can provide you. The parent that will support you through thick and thin, no matter what. The soul whose love for them in the river of your heart will never dilute, even when the currents get rough, and the waters, dark. The fellow who would tell you that he loves you every night and spend the day proving it through little gestures that speak much louder than any words of love. The person with whom you can hold hands when you turn eighty and announce to the world- ‘we made it! "

― Faraaz Kazi , Meant To Be Together

2 " Be the man who has the spirit of a ruthless tiger, ravaging every dusty corner of my soul.

Be the man for whom I will tame myself voluntarily..

Be the man who can make me forget my birth date in moments of utter dellusion.

Be the man whose arms are my harbor, whose lips are my shore, and whose name is my only salvation.

Be the man who erases my past and draws my future with trails of roses and kisses.

Be the man who makes me sigh behind the windows of Poetry, longing to be written.

Be the man whose cigarette's ashes are confounded with mine.

Be the man whose voice moves mountains inside me.

Be the man whose eyes devour the innocence within me with every piercing glance.

Be the man for whom I will transform exceptions into rules.

Be the man who will dare to tear this poem from my hands.

The man who will rewrite with the uncertainty of the futur every single one of my verses. "

― Malak El Halabi

3 " And suddenly I realize that all those books and movies had gotten it wrong.

When you find your souls reflection in another, you shouldn’t be aware of anything other than their body, yours, and the space between.

You shouldn’t be looking for someone whose kiss causes you to escape reality by transporting you to another time and place.

Look for the person whose kiss grounds you firmly in the moment, whose arms hold you safely in the now. "

― A.J. Compton , The Counting-Downers
