We are forever folding into the night.
- K. Akbar, Do You Speak Persian?
I have been so careless with the words I already have. I don’t remember how to say home in my first language, or lonely, or light. I remember only delam barat tang shodeh, I miss you, and shab bekheir, goodnight.
- K. Akbar, Do You Speak Persian?
Then at night, stars separated by billions of miles, light travelling years to die in the back of an eye.

...O Friend
these days
I feel with everyone I become friends with
We have been friends for so long that it is time to betray.... (Nosrat rahmani)
...ای دوست/ این روزها/ با هرکه دوست می شوم احساس می کنم/آنقدر دوست بوده ایم که دیگر/ وقت خیانت است...
The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.
