Bonsai of Thoughts: Seventy

1. One who shows you heaven
can also show you hell.

2. Sometimes, what the mind cannot even think,
the heart understands.

3. What we receive
is often beyond
our control.
But whether we keep it or let it go—
that is entirely in our hands.

4. Love me like the moon.
Spreading light through all my darkness...

5. Not everything stays in memory,
but the feeling
remains in the heart.

6. Don't ask me
where I went.
Ask instead
where I want to go.

In the past, I do not exist—
I only was.

7. If you ever see
your world breaking apart,
come into mine.

8. One day
all this pain
will be no more.
That day there will be
you and me.

9. Come, let us have courage like rain;
let us not fear the falling.

10. Today my days are very hard.
Keeping myself away
from you
is even harder.

11. After all this time
of giving your all,
today you wonder
why you have nothing left!

12. Don't stay with someone
whose company doesn't increase
your love for yourself.

13. It will take more time
to forget you.
How does one walk in a world
that feels so empty!?

14. Now I can't tell anyone anymore—
don't leave.

How much more can one say!

15. You are exactly what
others feel when they're with you;
whatever else you may think
in your heart of hearts!

16. Stop trying to explain yourself
to someone you couldn't make understand
despite all your efforts.

The more you explain,
the more they'll misunderstand.

17. Our last meeting
was not meant to be
the last.

18. Until you learn your lesson,
you will keep meeting the same person
in different forms.

19. Someone who keeps me in constant anxiety—
I refuse to call them my own.

20. In my world,
if something exists,
something indeed exists.

In the ifs, you reside;
in the buts, I remain.
