““She asked me, " How do I look?" I said. You look like one immortal feeling. You look like one who never vanishes from heart. You look like both emotions at the same time, happy and grief. You look like residents of my soul but far away from my body. You look like a beloved person, but stranger sometimes You look like a love that is complete in an incomplete life. You look like my life after my death.””
