Real love starts with letting someone be fully themselves — anything less is just you falling for your own reflection.

The beginning of love is to
let those we love be perfectly themselves,
and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Otherwise we love only
the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Jisko dil mein jaga di,
woh bichray to ansu to niklainn gey hi.

Aaj kuch ghabraye se lagte ho,

A good morning SMS that opens with poetic observations about someone looking flustered and glowing, then lands on the real reason: they haven't bathed in days.

Thand mein kapkapaye se lagte ho,
Nikhar kar aayi hai surat aapki,
Bahut dino baad nahaye se lagte ho
?Good Morning?

I LOVE YOU
