Below are the 10 most beautiful quotes I have ever come across. A must read for the person who likes this genre!
“THREE QUESTIONS”
“What was it like to love him? Asked Gratitude.
It was like being exhumed, I answered,
and brought to life in a flash of brilliance.
What was it like to be loved in return? Asked Joy.
It was like being seen after a perpetual darkness, I replied.
To be heard after a lifetime of silence.
What was it like to lose him? Asked Sorrow. There was a long pause before I responded:
It was like hearing every goodbye ever said to me—said all at once.”
“YOU AND I”
“Like time suspended, a wound unmended– you and I. We had no ending, no said goodbye; For all my life, I’ll wonder why.”
“SOULS”
When two souls fall in love,
there is nothing else but the
yearning to be close to the other.
The presence that is felt through a hand held, a voice heard, or a smile seen.
Souls do not have calendars or clocks, nor do they understand
the notion of time or distance.
They only know it feels right to
be with one another.
This is the reason why you miss someone so much when they
are not there even if they are only in the very next room.
Your soul only feels their absence— it doesn’t realize the separation is temporary.”
“HE AND I”
When words run dry. He does not try, nor do I.
We are on par.
He just is, I just am, and we just are.
“A QUESTION”
“It was a question I had worn on my lips for days – like a loose thread on my favourite sweater I couldn’t resist pulling – despite knowing it could all unravel around me.
“Do you love me?” I ask.
In your hesitation I found my answer.”
