بحبه! والله بحبّه! نسيت الدنيي كلها عشان حبّه. كنت عميا. ما بعمري فكّرت قدّيه نحنا مختلفين. كنت دايماً قول “بيمشي الحال. لازم يمشي الحال.” بس كنت عم بضحك على حالي. كيف بدّو يمشي هالحال؟ تركته. كانت ذكرى أول مرّة التقينا. بوقتها كل شي توضح قدامي. أنا وهوّي مش لبعض. اللي عملتو ما كان سهل، بس كان ضروري وهلّق أنا مرتاحة. علاقتنا كان ممكن تقضي على حياتنا

[translation]

I love him. I really do. It was this that drove me to forget all about everything else, to just focus on loving him. I was blinded. I couldn't see how different we were. Whenever a thought like that crept in, I'd brush it away and just say "We can make it, we can make it". But I just found out that it's impossible. I broke up with him on our anniversary - of all days, I know. But it was then that it was crystal clear to me. I feel awful, but relieved. The relationship would have destroyed my life.
