I knew I was a grain of sand in the vast desert that never ended and he was a sparkling star in the sky. I was a fish who couldn’t breathe in air and had to stay in dark waters forever while he was a majestic bird who soared so high that he barely touched the ground. I did not deserve him. I could only watch him from down here and wish, wish that he could come here someday. That he could know that I existed. But for that, he had to fall. He had to drop to the ground but I could not let that happen. And then I thought, birds are meant to fly and stars are meant to shine and if someone takes it away from them, they can't be the same anymore. So, I just prayed that his wings never fail him, that the star never explodes. And I was at peace. .Aleena Yasin
About This Quote
This is a true story that I had heard from my friend, who had it from her friend. This poem is about the beauty of love, the painful reality of love, and the pain of loss. The poet writes about how she had loved someone but they did not love her back. She was clearly hurt by this but she did not want them to feel bad or hurt.
Even though she had plenty of reasons to be angry at him after the hurtful thing he did to her, she still wanted him to know that she loved him. Love is supposed to make you happy but this poem shows the ugly side of love too. Sometimes, when you can't have what you want, you just have to accept that fact and move on with your life.
