Rupi Kaur: The most beautiful lyrics and quotes
You ask / if we can still be / friends / I explain to you that / a bee / does not dream / to kiss / the mouth of a flower / and then to be satisfied / with its leaves.
If you have a broken heart / and someone left you / don’t ask if you were / enough / the problem was / that you were so enough / that it didn’t work out.
What is the greatest lesson a woman should learn
In order to heal / you must take root to the wound / and kiss her completely.
If I am not the love / of your life / I will be in return / the loss of your life.
If you were born / with the weakness to fall / surely you were born / and with the power to rise.

Don’t look for healing / at the feet / of those who broke you.
The world / gives you / so much pain / and here you are / making gold out of it / there is nothing purer than that
Trust your body / react to good and evil / better than your mind does.
You were a dragon long before / for him to come and tell you / that you can fly / you will remain a dragon / long after he left.
I didn’t leave because / I stopped loving you / I left because the longer I stayed / the less / I loved myself.
that from the first day / she had everything she needed inside her / the world is the one that convinced her that she didn’t have it.
The way you talk about yourself / the way you degrade yourself / in childhood / is abuse.
Many times / we are angry / at other people / because they did not do what / we should have done / for ourselves.
How you love yourself / is how you teach others / to love you.
I could have been / anything in this world / but I wanted / to be his.
They had no idea what it was like / to lose your feeling at home / at the risk of never finding it again / to have your whole life / divided between two lands / and to become the bridges between two countries – emigrant.
Let go / let go / let nothing happen / in this world /
Maybe you weren’t my first love / but you were the love that made / the other loves / irrelevant.
Every time / when you tell your daughter / as a guy to her / out of love / you teach her to confuse / anger with kindness / what seems like a good idea / until she gets to / trust men who hurt her / because she looks like so good / with you.
The right one for you / doesn’t stand in your way / makes room for you / for you to step forward
You have to / want to spend / the rest of your life / with yourself / first.
I want to apologize to all the women / whom I called beautiful / before I called them smart or brave / I’m sorry that I made it seem as if / something so simple you were born with / is the one especially something you should be proud of / when in fact your spirit has crushed the mountains / From now on I will say things like ‘you are strong’ / or ‘you are extraordinary’ / not because I don’t think you are beautiful / but because you are much more than that
People say things / that tear you in half / but you have the power / not to turn their words into knives / with which to cut yourself.
Love is not cruel / we are cruel / love is not a game / we made a game / out of love.
