You can just be there. To listen. To talk. To cheer him up if he's having a bad day. And on the bad days, you can ask what you can do to make things easier. Standing by his side, even when things are hard. But also knowing that...sometimes people need more support than one person can give. That's love, darling.
— Heartstopper, Alice Oseman
Sometimes, she is too much of everything—too sensitive,too generous, too intense, too adorable, too accepting.
She is mad, the kind of mad that makes you fall in love, and she doesn’t need much—some books to read, a warm touch, someone to love and to be loved.
—Something I'm Waiting to Tell You by Shravya Bhinder
"Marry me," he whispered, stroking her long neck. ... "And that is an order, not a request," he said kissing her open mouth, her lips still gaping in surprise.

There he goes, running away, after stabbing me in my heart. Again.
Maybe loving you was my sin. And now I am making atonement.
"If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there's salvation in life. Even if you can't get together with that person."

इश्क़
इश्क़ हरा देता है सब को, मैं हारा हुआ हूं
खारे इश्क़ से शक्कर सा मीठा हुआ हूं
ऐ तेज़ हवा ! मैं सूखा पत्ता सामने तेरे हूं
जानता नहीं किस तरफ़ जा कर मैं गिरूं
Mohabbat karne wale kam na honge,
Teri mehfil mein lekin hum na honge.
I pretend to be scared to cross the road just to hold your hand
Oh, things I do to be near you.
“Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, and unsurprised by anything in between.”
