“Gladly, I would give you my heart, but why take a broken one when you could have another one. After me, you can always return to a warm place where the sun waits for you. Still, I cannot return to a place that would no longer exist, a place where I had your love, a place where I treasured it but never held it too tightly so that you never lose the freedom so essential to you, a place where only fleeting moments is all we had. I am afraid of the darkness after you.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“Gestern, inmitten des zarten Übergangs vom Morgengrauen zur Abenddämmerung, fühlte ich mich verloren zwischen der greifbaren Umarmung der Realität und dem vergänglichen Reich der Träume und Illusionen. Die Freude an der Erinnerung, einst ein geschätzter Trost, entzog sich nun meinem Zugriff, denn es gab keinen Begleiter, mit dem ich diese wertvollen Erinnerungen teilen konnte. Es war, als hätte die Abwesenheit meiner Geliebten diesen gemeinsamen Erlebnissen die Essenz entzogen und sie hohl und distanziert gemacht.

Der Verlust eines unverzichtbaren Menschen fügt dem Herzen eine tiefe Wunde zu, die nie vollständig heilt. Sie bleiben für immer in den zerbrochenen Kammern unserer Seele präsent, ihre Essenz ist für immer mit unserer eigenen verbunden. Die einfachen Nuancen unseres gemeinsamen Daseins, einst Quellen der Wärme und des Trostes, dienen heute als eindringliche Echos, die vor Schmerz nachhallen.

In der riesigen Fläche, in der sich einst deine Präsenz befand, existiert jetzt eine Leere – eine Leere, die genau nach diesem Bild geformt ist und von keinem anderen gefüllt wird. Ich navigiere ständig durch die Konturen dieser Leere, durchquere tagsüber ihre Tiefen und erliege nachts ihrer allumfassenden Dunkelheit. Es ist eine Kluft, die kunstvoll in die Silhouette deiner Abwesenheit eingraviert ist, eine Leere, die sich allen Versuchen der Schließung widersetzt, denn niemand sonst kann jemals den Raum einnehmen, den du einst in meinem Herzen gehalten hast.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“Sometimes the things that are felt the most are expressed between two souls over the distance and over time where no words abide...
Across the great unknown,
Beyond the reach of sunlight and pale shadows,
Over distance and the ticking of time.

No language can capture what's in the heart,
As emotions surge and souls depart,
But in that space between, a bond takes hold,
And stories of the soul are silently told.

No need for words to bridge the divide,
For feelings felt are felt worldwide,
And though the chasm may seem too wide,
Between two hearts, a soft warm does abide untouched.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“With each new day, another piece of my past resurfaces, painfully reminding me of what's missing. Life can feel like an endless procession of losses, from start to finish. Your absence cuts through me like a knife, erasing the memory of the once-familiar contours of your face, leaving behind only the ache of your departure.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“I want to be humble by acknowledging my ignorance and admitting that I don't understand the world, but vainly believing that somehow I do. Knowing that I don't know and recognizing that my vanity is greater is where my demons are born.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“Afternoons are hard,
nights disturbingly silent,
eyes break into tears looking
in the morning sun.
It is the end of a love story
the end of a dream
the end of two hearts.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“It seems like we are galaxies apart
distance does not affect our dream
together we love to the point of tears
I still see a light flickering in your eyes
you feel my touch every night
and although the distance is true
we are only one heart.”
― Rolf van der Wind

and stroll through the fields of days gone by,
Reminiscing on all that was and will be.”

“Let dry my tears, let me gaze into the truly everlasting gleam in your eyes, knowing that what we hold dear in our hearts will forever illuminate our parting journey from now forward. Each drop that falls bears witness to the bittersweet ache of farewell, as we bid adieu to the warmth of shared moments and the comfort of familiar embraces. Yet, amidst the sorrow, there lies a glimmer of solace in the knowledge that the love we've nurtured will transcend the boundaries of time and distance. As we embark on separate paths, may the radiance of cherished memories serve as guiding stars, lighting our way through the darkness of separation. Though tears may blur our vision momentarily, let them not obscure the beauty of the connection we've forged, nor dampen the flicker of hope that dances in our souls. For even in the midst of goodbyes, our love remains an unwavering beacon, casting its luminous glow upon the road ahead.”

“Some girl's hearts do not possess a flame, or the flame got blown out too many times ever to catch fire again.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“The pain we feel so deeply inside is the longing to capture moments in life. It is an illusion of the mind that this time can always be kept.
We have to let the moments go and learn to accept the goodbyes. No matter the joy or sorrow, keep your heart open and your spirit willing. Embrace the highs and lows of life, cherishing each moment as it passes; that is the essence of living.”
― Rolf van der Wind

― Rolf van der Wind

“I search for your eyes, our eyes meet, and something dangerous sparks. My heart skips a beat, and I know this is something I can't ignore. Again I am falling, falling in love. The further I fall, the more I feel alive.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“Her voice falls to a whisper, as though she’s talking to herself. The words that fall from her lips are barely audible, as if she’s scared of what she’s saying. Her eyes dart around the room, anxiously searching for any sign of a listener. She takes a deep breath and continues in a hushed tone.

The confession that follows is so quiet that it’s almost as if the wind is carrying her words away. Her voice trembles with emotion and she speaks with a sense of urgency, as if she is trying to get it all out before someone interrupts.

The air is thick with tension as she finishes speaking, and it’s clear that this secret has been weighing on her for some time. She takes another deep breath and slowly exhales, letting the words linger in the air for a moment before they disappear.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“You are Venus, and I am your Moon
I am the secret that you will never tell
the best secrets are the most bent
forever your lover, never your man.”
― Rolf van der Wind

“It's not the challenges we might face or the potential fading of affection that haunts us. It's the obliteration of our potential selves, of what we could have become, of what we could have shared.”
