By Khalil Gibran

“It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations.” "Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother." "Rest in reason; move in passion."

Still Waiting

by Cuddles

I'm still waiting for your love,
still waiting for you to see
that you make my life beautiful.
You're everything to me.

Deep down I want to hurt you
if only to make you realize
that the day you walked away
tears fell from these brown eyes.

I wonder why you didn't say goodbye,
and at the same time I don't care.
I just hope you come back soon.
I'm lost without you here.

So I'm still waiting to see your face,
to once again hear you say my name,
to feel your arms hold me tight,
to feel your love for me always.

By Khalil Gibran

It is indeed misery if I stretch an empty hand to men and receive nothing; but it is hopelessness if I stretch a full hand and find none to receive.

Should you sit upon a cloud you would not see the boundary line between one country and another, nor the boundary stone between a farm and a farm.
It is pity you cannot sit upon a cloud.

When I stood a clear mirror before you, you gazed into me and saw your image.
Then you said, “I love you.”
But in truth you loved yourself in me.
