love letters

dear Ikhwan,

do you know that I love you? I probably already told you, but I'm going to keep saying it. there is no lies in these words, not a bit. your smile keeps me alive. is one more reason to keep fighting. I would give you my soul for comfort, even if it leaves me dark and cold. and when I hold you close, I can feel your heart beat fast, and I think to myself... I've found that "someone" at last... when I tell you I love you, I don't say it out of habit or to make conversation. I say it to remind you that you're the best thing that ever happened to me...

love,

Shahira
