because the love that stayed, through the silence and ache, through the nights no one else saw, was mine.
— Asra Amjad, Even the moon left me - poetry book about love
“The silence I once used to stay safe became something else entirely, a weapon, a boundary, and a tool.”

“There are women who suffer in silence, who bury their pain behind locked doors, who swallow their grief to keep the world steady for their children.”

“To my children, who continue to teach me new lessons about love, hope, and perspective, thank you for giving my memories a future.”

“How joyful the heart becomes when it finds true love, and how sad it is that joy in essence is ephemeral.”
