"The Quite love"
~Mahir Muntasim

"I love quietly,
Like the moon loves the tides—
Unseen, unspoken,
Yet moving everything.

This love is a silence within me,
A wordless song that echoes endlessly.
It asks for nothing, expects nothing,
Yet its weight fills my being.

I watch from afar,
Not daring to touch,
For to touch might destroy the purity
Of what I hold inside.

In my dreams, we meet,
But even there, I keep my distance.
For love, to me,
Is not possession or claim;
It is a surrender to the beauty of simply feeling.

So I love quietly,
Like the sky loves the stars—
Each one far away,
Yet all held together by the same vastness."
