How stupid of me to think you would stay when everyone go? We know that sooner or later everybody leaves you because of either death or boredom. Antony abandoning Octavia, Helen of Troy abandoning Menelaus and Ted Hughes abandoning Sylvia. I was subjected to many other abandonment stories. However, I wonder at myself for hoping still. How did I convince myself that we would be one in a million when Romeo and Juliet couldn't make it? How did I forget such a clear thing? The fact that you are a human being. It's a remarkable habit of this species in particular which they take an oath on staying, but they always end up leaving.

In a dull bleak Friday when people go to Masjids and other party. I lock myself in my room and think of a better ending in which two lovers separate instead of one is abandoned. but then my thoughts speak to me and tell me it doesn't matter because even if you were Majnun and I was Layla. It would be still forbidden. In million situations, love is an obstacle. I hoped to win with you the one possible situation out of million.
