Bonsai of Thoughts (Translated)

I notice you've provided the title "ভাবনার বনসাই: সাতষট্টি" (Thoughts in Bonsai: Sixty-Seven) but no content to translate. Could you please provide the Bengali text that needs to be translated? I'm ready to render it into English with the literary sensitivity and philosophical precision you've requested.

1. All stories are hidden in pillows!
Of muffled sobs, of joyful tidings.

2. One can live alone,
but one cannot live with someone
whose presence devours solitude.

3. We want them only then,
when we come to know
we can never have them again.

4. We protest injustice
when the wrong is done to us or someone close,
or when the wrongdoer is someone we dislike.

5. Perhaps there is no love between us,
but there is no false performance either.

Our relationship is pure.

6. Come, heart, let us go together to some place
where no one's idle chatter
can touch us.

7. After many years
we will meet again.

We will simply look into each other's eyes...nothing more.

8. Today you say you miss me!
After all that wandering, you found no one to your liking?

9. That I don't want to be with you
doesn't mean
I want to be with someone else.

I simply want to be alone.

10. Does thinking of me surprise you?
No matter.
Thinking of you surprises me too.

11. It's not that I don't write about you anymore.
But I no longer tell you about it as I used to.

12. I think deeply.
I love deeply.
I feel deeply.

Either I am an ocean,
or I am nothing at all.

13. I didn't get into trouble by loving you;
I got into trouble thinking that you loved me too.

14. After so long, I gave up.
My heart still hasn't given up—
without asking my permission!

15. Don't search for the best.
Rather, search for someone
who thinks you are the best.

16. Everything could be lost by tomorrow.
Remember this.

17. Looking at the one I love, I think:
either they are eternal happiness,
or they are eternal sorrow.

What a terrifying thing!

18. I know you won't be in the next chapter.
Yet I know the story must still be written.

19. Time decides whom you will meet.
Your heart decides whom you want to keep.
Your behavior decides who will stay with you.

20. The one who was never yours—
staring at them endlessly,
you have now lost the very one...
who was always waiting for you.
