62 Quotes by Malak El Halabi

Take this pounding heart, my dear. Fold it like a napkin boat. And set it to sail.

I still smell your absence on my skin. It smells of insomnia and rusted key locks...

I watched you storm towards the restaurant door. It was a chilly December morning and the birds sitting on the high wires in the neighborhood refused to fly any longer.

You don't need an ocean to feel like you're drowning. You feel it, between your chest and your throat, the weight of it stretching you outside your self, like a dead fish on the shore.

There is a hole in the heart called "absence". You live in it my dear.

There are people that damage you for life. The day they walked into your life will forever be a turning point you will use to label and count your years with... Your own BC and AD.

Be your own solace

I will be waiting for you at the end of every blind alley, under the lonely streetlamps of a city that will no longer be ours.When the wind grows colder and the huge piles of settled leaves sit there for a week or two, unshielded from the curious gaze of passersby, I will be waiting for you.I will be waiting for what could have been and for what will never be;For the letters that never arrived, the letters that were never sent, and the letters that will never be written.

أنّك أتٍ من هناكما بين موجةِ تسامر خصري وموجةٍ تلّفني وشمس حزيران البرتقالية..دمعة تحرق خدّي وتغرقني..لأنني لوهلةٍ تخيّل لي أنك آتٍ من هناك..ماشياً حافياً على الماء لتلقي عليّ التحية.
