“That incident stole my words, and sadly, my silence never reached you.”
“Sometimes, finding the truth is like being in a burning aeroplane, you can’t do anything except jump out with the parachute of acceptance. If it opens, you survive. If it doesn’t, you fall to your death; I am falling to my death.”
“Sadly, the hearts glued by friendship are often separated by love.”
