IA I’d write book entailing how a woman can't take her eyes off a man when she's in love. How his presence makes her nervous,his mere voice melts her,his face is the only thing she can see— not because it's handsome;but because it is ‘his’. Anything related to him is inexplicable

To look at someone when they are unaware of it is one of the purest forms of intimacy. Those stealing glances say much more: "I love looking at you; I can't take my eyes off you, becuse what they see is truly loved by my heart!"

The moment you confess your love for someone, you might feel vulnerable, dejected, rejected, hearbroken, devalued. But now it's not about you only, the secret belongs to you both. You have...shifted your deepest secret to someone it originally belonged to: the one you loved ~

Do you know why women shy away from writing about love (& men easily do)? From explaining how they look at their love interest? How spellbound they become when ‘he’ shows up? Because the world sexualizes women whenever they talk about (sacred) love. Their character is tarnished.

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) married a lady who was fifteen years elder than him. Moreover, the offer of nikaah was made by her, a woman, and that was never seen as 'derogatory'. Which Islam are you following that focuses on four wives only but ignores the aforementioned?

"با ادب با نصیب" When you respect teachers/elders, their heart automatically prays for you. Being a teacher is an underrated & tough job. Standing all day long & speaking for God knows how many hours,consumes them inexplicably. Don't disrespect them, you can never pay them back!

Walking with someone is romantic & much meaningful. It's symbolically stands for walking the entire journey of life together with mutual love, respect, and support.
