Silence

She asked him with doubtful eyes: " You don't love me, Do you? "

He remained silent, she could see the moves of his lips but no words came out, He looked at her eyes deeply as if he wanted to tell her somethin that he couldn't say in words .. While lookin at her hopin that she may understand what he wanted to say, She was takin a deep look at every inch of his face that she has always admired, she was lookin at his narrow mean eyes, recallin every memory they once had together movin her eyes up to his dark short hair.

She kept wonderin & observin the fast move of his eyelashes when suddenly his eyes became teary, she didn't seem to understand what he wanted to say or in other words, she didn't want to believe it, She wondered are those tears out of guilt, pain or he was too helpless to explain ?, How badly she wished he would say something; anything, it would be much more easier & relievin than lettin her sinkin in her assumptions & doubts, She painfully asked herself " Don't I deserve at least an answer, a word, a goodbye ?" .. Her eyes started to be filled with tears too, the image of his face wasn't clear anymore; too many tears were rollin down her cheecks, every tear was takin away a part of her. She remembered how many times she assured him that she will always be beside him no matter what & that he is her & everythin else is just details & how he kept repeatin " You are my sun but I don't deserve you, I will never deserve you." Still, Sielnce was playin the greatest role, not even a word pentrated that bitter silence that seemed eternal. She wasn't intendin to say anythin, she was tryin to tell him through her eyes "Oh Love, please, say somethin" askin him through her teary eyes " Then why, why from the start?". She kept starin & admirin his pale face which was derived from any helpin expression, However. He was tryin to avoid her eye-contact, he had nothin to say, he had to be strong & cold hearted infornt of the only one who he had truly loved, She was lookin at him with a huge bitterness inside, his silence was tearin her apart into small tiny pieces ,She silently took a deep peaceful look at his face; She knew that it wouldl be her last time to see him; his silence said it all ..

She started to take a little steps backwards then slowly turned her back on him, she continued walkin away from him slowly feelin a bitterness she has never felt before, Her hands were tremblin so much, she wasn't even able to wipe her tears as if she lost control on every organ in her body, she was like a sleepin volcano which suddenly became active but wasn't able to explode, she wanted to scream out but she couldn't, she kept all that anger, bitterness & pain inside, tears were inevitably rollin down her eyes, she couldn't prevent them & that hurt her even more, she was in total mess & everything around her people, blocks, children everythin seemed to disappear, as if she is the only one who is livin on this rude planet, no sounds but the sounds of the cracks of her breakon heart, she was dyin inside, she kept walkin away, leavin all those beautiful dreams that would make sense no more; leavin her heart behind & the more steps she took, the more she felt a huge wall enlargin between him & her, she didn't even think of lookin back or runnin back into his arms blamin him or askin why or even slapin him on his face. she couldn't have done that anyway, no matter what she won't bear to hurt him, However. She was too proud, there was no use of makin herself sound like a fool again enough what he has just done to her, she knew that he is gone forever, she kept holdin her arms together huggin her self tightly hiddin her head between her arms .. she knew that she had to go on; half alive .. she had to do so as he had to ..

He .. He kept standin still in his place, didn't move an inch & she just kept goin on by .. goin on by as if she was on a train, till she disappeared from his sight, He felt as if his soul was gradually takin from him, He knew so well that she was irreplaceable, she was life in it's craziest way, she was sun in the utmost warmth on a very cold day, she was beauty in it's simplest elegant way, she was that beautiful smilin moon on the dark days, she was a mother in her kindest way, she was love in it's most passionate way, she was him in his most beautiful state, she was a child in his purest silliest way .. He remembered how they used to fight so hard & ended up laughing like crazy. He couldn't bear to see her tears, she rarely showed them to anyone even him, he knew how much she was proudful & preferred to keep everythin to herself. However, she looked at him with a silent beautiful smile ruined by the rollin tears that she tried to hold & hide but failed, he knew that she didn't want the last thing to remember of her to be tears, regret, anger, blame & so; walkin away silently from him, made him felt even worse, he wished that she had screamed or slapped him but she did nothing of that. She painfully wore her beautiful smile as if she was sayin "It's okay, Love".. He had to leave her, he was dyin inside too but couldn't help it! , he started to walk in the opposite direction, feelin way as much as she felt, He didn't want to be the only one she loved & the only one who broke her heart , he hated himself that he wished to die, go back & tell her .." No, I do, I do, I really do love you more than this whole world which will become a huge trash without your presence", But he didn't want to be selfish, he wanted the best for her, he didn't deserve her after all, it was impossible & no use to wait for him, he kept walkin away as if he was walkin away from life or lettin it go; wonderin how he loved her, still do & awlays will even more than life itself .. Oh god, how much emptiness he felt as if he is nothin, feelin nth, headin for nth; He no longer cared bout anythin ..

Minutes, Hours, Days, Months even years went by & .. He .. He .. never heard from her since that day ..


She was everythin to him, He was everythin to her

It seems that I can't let you go ..

I got used to your permanent absence that I no longer mind it. Still, Deep down inside, it does hurt, but I'll never admit it; The more it hurts the more I deny it; the more I insist on letting it go .. !

The Last Call

“You know what, I want you to be happy no matter what & be sure that I will always be beside
you supporting & protecting you, you will never be alone one day, I will always be there for you guiding & loving you ..
Promise me that you will be happy no matter what & be strong against this cruel world; I know you are strong .. I want you to be the flower that blossoms it’s kindness & beauty over this heartless world to make it more & more beautiful as you make everything around you looks & sounds
more beautiful, tender & secure ..
So Promise me ..
I smiled inside but I was worried as well; I asked him “ my dear , whh..y, why are you saying so?
Is everything okay ?
He didn’t reply & a moment of silence invaded ..
To break the silence I said in a funny way : Come on Sir , can’t You see,
you are acting so weirdly tonight, you sound so weird while talking that gently, but let’s admit it , there’s a huge improvement going out there ! .. Huuuh is it the magic of love ?
( then saying in a childish proud sarcastic tone ) uh, apparently you are falling deeper in love with me .. I warned you ; falling in love with me will never be that easy.

Firmly replying : “ ..... , JUST PROMISE ME ”

“ Uh, Well, I .. I promise you “
He then said: “ You need not to worry about anything, I love you & I’m so proud of you & even more proud to have you in my life, I’m the luckiest man on earth to have you in my life .. ”
****
Those were the last words I heard from him while talking to him & wandering why he was saying so,
I was so happy & over the moon; it was the first time to tell me “clearly & directly” “I love you” though he never said it to me clearly one day but I never had the need to hear it from him as I’ve always felt it,
but also deep down inside I wasn’t feeling well too, I didn’t try to show it , neither did he , I know him, he always speak little, I knew that there was something wrong & though I asked him many times
“why he was saying so ? .. ”
All I got was “Nothing I just felt the need to tell you so, Don’t you love me too ?” he asked
"You Meaaaaan ! " & then I stuttered & couldn’t reply .. He has always understood me ..
I never needed to justify anything I do or say.
He laughed & then kindly said :
“ Childish you .. , it’s okay, it's okay .. huuuh, I know how much you do hate me, Don't you ? “
“Ahem, Well I am not a child :P “
Laughing & replying ” You stubborn, Okay okay we don’t have to get into this .. “
We laughed so hard that night & then said goodnight & right before we hung up he said :
“Don’t forget to say prayers for me” ..
“Sure, I won’t my dear, You’d do the same huh ? .. ”
“Sure I’d, my proud stubborn angel” He then called my name : .....
I replied : “Yes dear … “
Passionately mixed with a sad tone he said : “ I love you ” ..
he waited few seconds till he heard me smiling inside; he knew that I’m too shy & reserved to declare such a feeling & say such a passionate risky word, he smiled deeply too & said goodbye my love ; we hung up.
For some reason I felt so warm, peaceful but worried at the same time it was as if he was letting me go ..
I convinced myself that It may be just a naïve stupid feeling. However, The next morning I woke up suddenly with a very killing pain in my heart a more close to a heart attack one, to find his mom calling me saying with a steady tone that he is in the place he deserved to be in. I couldn’t get it at first & for long time indeed,
I kept calling him again & again that morning with a huge insistence that he would reply .. , but I never got an answer ..

Yea, He was too good to be a part of this foolish world, I was the lucky one to have him in my life, He was the greatest gift, He was my protector, my biggest fan, my everything .. He always knew how to bring out the best in me.

He .. He was the best part of me & always will. However, He left; leaving me alone, facing many without him, keeping his love in my heart & since that memorable day as all days , months & even years became all same for me; I never stopped saying prayers for him nor stopped saying goodnight to him every night before I close my eyes & memorize his face & his words ..
I miss him so much & I can’t help it ! , I miss everything about us & can never fall in love with anyone again but him, & how could I ?! ;

He is always with me, he’s always within me . He was my first true pure young love. I’m still here, only because I promised him; he wanted me to be happy, safe & secure but without him there is no such a thing in life; everything is tasteless probably meaningless ..


I .. I was the last one he talked to that night & he was the the first, the last & the only man who has conquered my heart & the only one I was able to fall in love with .. I’ll keep his love in my heart till we
meet again & tell him that I do love him too & that my life without him was a waste of time, I won’t let my shyness & my stupid childish pride prevent me this time ..

& This when .. when our forever starts .. :)

غموضي


أنا مش ساذجة ولا عبيطة

و سكوتي معرفش ليه مسبب ريبة


الناس كلها مستغربة و متعرفش أزاي تبقي مني قريبة


مع أني لا باكل و لابعض


و يدوب حتي بفك الخط


خط الدنيا مش خط اليد


لكن رغم كل شئ بقدر أحس بكل حرف و كل نقطة بتترسم ع السطر


و أقدر كمان أحفظ ملامح كل كلمة و كل شخص

حتي لو مرة صدفة قابلته علطول اللغز يتفك

شقية يمكن بس بسيطة لأبعد حد


وكمان بحب الحرية زي أسمي و بحب أعد النجوم و دايماً بنسي الوقت


و بحب أوي شكل البحر في هدوءه


و يا سلام ف مركب تمشي بيا علي موجه

و أبص منها ع الطيور في وقت شروق الكون و غروبه


و لما يجي الليل يليل بحب أشوف ضحكة القمر


ونجمة كده جمعني في يوم بيها القدر


أما عن ادعاء الهدوء و السكون ف دي فلسفة فارغة


المفروض ما يخدش ف باله منها حد

A discussion with my youngest brother


-We were sitting in the kitchen having our launch when he started
-Selim : "Sarah,Why always people have to lie to each other?"
-Me: You've just said why they have to, right ?
-Selim: Yes i did.
-Me: people always have to lie to each other .. umm,maybe cos they are no longer honest with themselves, they often lie to themselves pretending that everything is fine & okay and that they are without a doubt good people making sacrifices and doing great things for the people around them.
-Selim: But they know that those people are hippocrates and deceiving, why do they believe those hippocrates who lie to them and refuse to believe honest people.
-Me: Selim people always love others to tell them that they are great .. who doesn't want to be praised ?!
-Selim: Aha .. We are livin in a fake society,aren't we ?
-Me: Yes, we are. Unfortunately dear ..
-Me: You know, I guess now I do understand why we have reached this point of anarchy .. It's because everyone is lying to the other, no one is tellin the truth, we are no longer honest with ourselves, we lost the other true part of us,we became unreal.
-Selim: How Sarah?
-Me: Well, people kill, lie, cheat, step their beloved ones in their backs and desert their lovers, they do many bad things indeed and they don't feel any guilt or any feelin of regret
I guess it's the absence of Conscience. Humanity became so cheap probably priceless .. It's so complicated ! it's just we are livin in a world of fools, everyone is deceivin and lying for the sake of achieving silly dreams like owning the best car .. etc. It's so silly for spending most of your lifetime in order to reach this valueless & timed pleasured goals.
-Selim: Ummmm, "he stopped eatin" and he began to wander and then asked : "Sarah, Do i have to lie like those people in order to reach my goals?"
-Me: Smiling to his innocent face & looking him in the eyes and then i answered "You can never be forced on doing something you don't want to do or following something against your morals, besides, you are bigger than these silly dreams & these ways of achieving them .. I thought your goals included changing the world & the society we are living in, in order to make it a better place & with such a great leader people will never have to lie.
-Selim: Smiling to me and saying .. ah! Do you think I'm capable of leading people & changing this foolish world ?
-Me: Sure, you are. Besides if it's not you then who it would be?
-Selim: I love you sister.
-Me: I love you too my little angel
-Selim : (wandering then he declared) " You know what, I'm gonna make you my assistant in the future"
-Me: Haha, it would be an honor to me .
-At some point I realized that Humans are always humans even Selim my ten years old brother. =)!

Nostalgia --> الحنين

A simple, free, mindful blog where you can somehow find a little peace in it ..
As we grow older & older we find more & more restrictions are put on us .. Those simple childish dreams, thoughts & actions aren't quite available anymore, But still inside everyone of us there's a beautiful & a dreaming child looking forward to the future wishing to growp up so fast to be what he always dreamt to be ..
You can feel that childish thingie in every person you meet .. You may find it in someone's smile in someone's way of talking or even the way someone's eat or the way he walks or plays .. etc.
Inisde everyone of us there's a child lying there ..
And obviously we now see that the world is going kinda crazy .. Restrictions everywhere, Wars in Iraq, Palestine & Afghanistan  Starving people in Africa, Nuclear weapons, Insecurity, Hand made diseases, Disasters .. etc.
It's like there's not enough time for anyone to enjoy a moment of silence & peace ..
Although we aren't going through wars & stuff .. But still we miss freedom .. Freedom of mind , Freedom of Expressing, Freedom of dreaming, Freedom of loving, Freedom of being what we exactly want to be , Freedom of worship, Freedom of being the real us not faking ourselves for the sake of others, Freedom of being free or not ..
At some point that we are actually about to reach ..There will come a day .. that you'll look at yourself in the mirror & say I miss you ! .. Yea, You'll miss being that simple you ..
So just want you always to remember that, "The tragedy of life is not what we lose, but actually what we mmis".. =) !
