Brave | ✓

three

i wish
that when you're walking on the thin line
between looking at him
or looking away

between typing a reply for him
or deleting the message

between holding his hand knowing no one's looking
or gazing up at the sky realizing He is

between allowing yourself to slip in that one moment
or grasping to His rope

you realize
that your Rabb has dedicated
a surah to you out of His Love

that you are what will carry your father
to the gates of jannah

habibti, the man who pursues you so shamelessly
is not a man worthy of your chastity

i hope you realize
that your Rabb has preserved for you a man

who will treat you not as a passing fling
but will hide you in his heart forever

you are worthy of being asked
for your hand
and not having it grasped by force

and at the end of it all

i hope you question
why you allow yourself
to stoop so low

when your status
is so high
