“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”

“رسالة من تحت الماء

إن كنتَ صديقي.. ساعِدني

كَي أرحَلَ عَنك..

أو كُنتَ حبيبي.. ساعِدني

كَي أُشفى منك

لو أنِّي أعرِفُ أنَّ الحُبَّ خطيرٌ جِدَّاً

ما أحببت

لو أنِّي أعرفُ أنَّ البَحرَ عميقٌ جِداً

ما أبحرت..

لو أنِّي أعرفُ خاتمتي

ما كنتُ بَدأت...

إشتقتُ إليكَ.. فعلِّمني

أن لا أشتاق

علِّمني

كيفَ أقُصُّ جذورَ هواكَ من الأعماق

علِّمني

كيف تموتُ الدمعةُ في الأحداق

علِّمني

كيفَ يموتُ القلبُ وتنتحرُ الأشواق

*

إن كنت نبياً .. خلصني

من هذا السحر..

من هذا الكفر

حبك كالكفر.. فطهرني

من هذا الكفر..

إن كنتَ قويَّاً.. أخرجني

من هذا اليَمّ..

فأنا لا أعرفُ فنَّ العوم

الموجُ الأزرقُ في عينيك.. يُجرجِرُني نحوَ الأعمق

وأنا ما عندي تجربةٌ

في الحب.. ولا عندي زورق..

إن كنت أعز عليك .. فخذ بيديّ

فأنا عاشقةٌ من رأسي .. حتى قدميّ

إني أتنفَّسُ تحتَ الماء..

إنّي أغرق..

أغرق..

أغرق..”
― نزار قباني, أحلى قصائدي
