Until my heart beats for the last time,
only then, perhaps, I would stop loving you.
Perhaps.

ما هو الحب في رأيك؟
أن تبتسم حين يبدأ احدهُم بالحديث معك، دون أن يخبرك شيءً مميزاً، فقط 'مرحباً.'
What do you think is love?
To smile when someone starts talking to you, without telling you anything special, just 'hello.'
– Mahmoud Darwish
