better than me
are you
kinder than me
are you
sweeter smarter faster
you you you
prettier than me
stronger than me
lonelier than me
I want to get
to know you
better and better

I love you more than my own skin and even though you don’t love me the same way, you love me anyways, don’t you? And if you don’t, I’ll always have the hope that you do, and i’m satisfied with that. Love me a little. I adore you.

If I knew how much you loved me, I would’ve shot you sooner.

If we'd never met, I think I would have known my life wasn't complete. And I would have wandered the world in search of you, even if I didn't know who I was looking for.

Had I known that the heart breaks slowly, dismantling itself into unrecognizable plots of misery... had I known yet I would have loved you, your brash and insolent beauty, your heavy comedic face and knowledge of sweet delights, but from a distance I would have left you whole and wholly for the delectation of those who wanted more and cared less.

You know me better than you think, you know, and you shall know me better yet.

If I hadn't met you, I'd certainly have fallen in love with him.

A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.
I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.

Believe nothing of me
except that I felt your beauty
more closely than my own.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

Have you ever loved someone and it became yourself?

If you have the ability to love, love yourself first.

Until you have loved, you cannot become yourself.

You yourself never loved; you never love!

Yes, I too can love; you yourselves can tell it from the past. Is it not so?
