01UndatedMissing you,I missed a part of meI shared with you that’s now gone.Missing you, when really, it was the way you made me feeland the things you made us do.Missing you I shouldn’t be.But I can’t help missing who I was with you.Missing you,I missed and missed so much of the world and wasn’t even missed in return.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
03UndatedI haven’t written you a poem in years it seems.How can it be my faultwhen the words to describe you have not yet been created?When the alphabet lacks the very letters?How can it be my fault when your loveliness only growsby the time I reach for pen and paper?Tell me how I am at faultwhen I am only a beginner in poemsand you are exquisite poetry?To write you in words is to put a veil upon you.Why must I writewhen I can kiss you instead?Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
05UndatedDo you know what you get when you try to escape? When you drive for miles in a deserted city or swim for hours in a shoreless sea? You get yourself.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
06UndatedPoetry is seeing everything when there is only one thing. It is looking at a rose but seeing the stars, moons, seas, and trees. It is a truth beyond logic, an experience beyond thought. Poetry is the Earth pausing on its axis in order to manifest itself as a rose.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
08UndatedBecause in truth, my love, if you have thought of me once then I have thought of you a thousand times. You have captured my heart. It is yours. I am at your mercy nowKamand Kojouri / quote ↗

12UndatedThey tell us the greatest love story is how water fell in love with fire. Or how satan fell in love with God. But the greatest love story to me is how I didn’t notice myself falling, when I fell in love with youKamand Kojouri / quote ↗
13UndatedExtremities are flawed. Moderation is ideal, save for one occasion.So damn these eyes that weep too much.This mind that thinks too much. But never this heart that loves too much.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
14UndatedWhat is the point of a relationship if not to grant two people the very private privilege to uplift one another every day?Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗

16UndatedBecause even if you spend your life chasing the immaterial, listening to the most exquisite classical music and getting drunk off of stunning vistas of mountains and waterfalls, all of it isn't worth a dime if you aren’t sharing it with someone. Everything amounts to that. True, we must experience most things in solitude to grow, create, destroy and grow again, but our pleasure and joy reaches a threshold in isolation. It is the worst thing to become an island. One must become the whole world.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
17UndatedThe hardest thing in the world is to let go of who you once thought you were and to manifest your true self, at the risk of being unloved. This is self-actualization.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
18UndatedLisbon, to me, is the Lisbon of Pessoa. Just like London is Woolf’s, or rather, Mrs. Dalloway’s. Barcelona is Gaudí's and Rome is da Vinci’s. You see them in every crevice and hear their echoes in every cathedral. I’d like to be the child, or rather, the mother of a city but I neither have a home nor a resting place. My race is humankind. My religion is kindness. My work is love and, well, my city is the walls of your heart.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
19UndatedI don’t want to be remembered for my work. I want to be remembered for my love.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
20UndatedYou need to keep hurting until you realise you never needed to hurt in the first place.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
22UndatedIf today is not your day, then be happy for this day shall never return. And if today is your day, then be happy now for this day shall never return.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
23UndatedIt doesn’t matter whether you are looking for a reason to be happy or sad, you will always find it.Kamand Kojouri / quote ↗
