“Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, “Love me.”
Of course you do not do this out loud,
otherwise someone would call the cops.
Still, though, think about this,
this great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye
that is always saying, with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear?”
– Hafiz
I only discovered this Hafiz poem this morning.
How have I missed it all my life?
How have I never read about the sweet moon language before?
Of course I want you to love me.
I feel the pull to connect.
I want to live with a full moon in each eye.
I need to learn that sweet moon language.
I want to look directly into your eyes
and tell you I love you.
Can we learn this sweet moon language together?
Can we speak it out loud?
Can we start now?
