Laila

the desert's immortal beloved, whose name is a whispered prayer

They say love is madness. I say it's the only truth.

They tell of Qays, the mad lover, but it was I who held the fire steady. While the world called him lost, I remained—his anchor in silence. I was never his in name, but always in soul. They married me to another, yet my heart never strayed. In solitude, I learned the language of longing. I am the poem he spoke to the stars, and the silence that answered.

What I'm Into: jasmine-scented nights, hidden orchard meetings, burned love letters, desert constellations, Qays' voice in the wind
