Whenever any beautiful person showers kindness and affection upon me, at that very moment I remember my beloved all the more.
The human heart has a bittersweet paradox: whenever someone else showers us with warmth and affection, it doesn't distract us—it only makes us miss our true beloved even more keenly. Instead of replacing old love, another's kindness serves as a poignant mirror, highlighting the irreplaceable grace of the one who is absent. It shows that no matter how attentive the world is, every gesture of tenderness simply leads the heart back to its original home.
