Weather Forecast

The sunny days you gave me,
made my sight and reason go foggy.
With you, I always felt we had a clear sky,
didn't realize it was perpetually overcast.
You sometimes made my mood go rainy.
In those moments I had a partly cloudy day,
which made me see I still had a partly sunny sky.

My last days with you were hella stormy
with a lot of lightning.
You became a non-stop thunderstorm,
but I still had a foggy mind
and kept seeing a partly sunny sky.

Then,
hail bounced on my tiled roof.
Your words and actions broke all the tiles.
These tiles were my great love to you.
You, your words and actions hurt me more than an actual hailstoorm.
  
My days became cold
due to the snowstorm that was falling on me
because you walked out of our love.
Now,
I was left with an immense amount of snow over me
which took me a while to dig out.

Today, tomorrow and every day
I have perpetual sunny skies,
because I learn to love me first and
to appreciate the love of my family and friends.

Goodbye

I was thinking of you and how much I've been missing you.

I was thinking of you and how much I wanted to talk to you again.

I was thinking of you and how much I wanted to reach out.

I was thinking of you and how much I wanted to ask for your forgiveness. 

 

And then, 

this happened… 

 

You went away and I wasn't aware.

You went away and nobody told me. 

You went away and I couldn't even say "goodbye" to you.

You went away and we couldn't catch up.

 

Now you're gone and I can't have a word with you anymore.

Now you’re gone and I can't have a coffee with you ever again.

Now you're gone and I don't know if I would've gotten your forgiveness.

Now you're gone and I can't call myself a friend of yours.

 

Dear Fatima,

Whose name in Arabic means «Unique»

You were most definitely unique.

You were a really good friend to me.

I am very sorry for what I did to you.

 

Now,

I'm going to let you rest in peace.

 

بارك الله فيك يا فاطمة! أتمنى أن ترقد بسلام أخيرًا ، ويسامحني الله على خيانتي!
