    Kamand Kojouri
    “Last night, I repeated your name like a mantra before falling asleep. Somehow the simple pleasure of uttering your name, and the added pleasure of hearing your name was heaven for me and I didn’t go to bed until dawn. Isn’t it odd how your name, a single word associated with you, can bring another person such joy that they inflict insomnia upon themselves and call it a blessing?”

  • #24
    Kamand Kojouri
    “To see you is to forget my name.
    To forget this tight collar
    and that delayed train.
    To forget the conflict with the landlady
    and the worry that my students won’t like me.
    These trifles lose themselves
    in the valleys of your brows
    and the seas of your hair.

    To see you is to forget my name.
    To forget if it matters what I do
    and whether what I do matters.
    To forget who I think I am
    and who I think I ought to become.
    To forget every past moment
    and unremember
    every moment to come.

    To see you is to forget my name.
    To forget myself
    and forget the world.
    These trivialities drown themselves
    in the dark eyes that stare back at me.
    Because to see you is to see
    you.
    Only you.”
    Kamand Kojouri

  • #25
    Kamand Kojouri
    “What is the point of all these books
    when I learn best by reading your body?”
    Kamand Kojouri

  • #26
    Kamand Kojouri
    “I should’ve probably warned you:
    once you end a relationship with an artist,
    you are perpetually reminded of them.
    They have now ruined classical music and jazz for you.
    They have ruined books and poetry.
    You should just forget about galleries and museums.
    But you know what the worst part is?
    It’s how they witnessed and observed you,
    making you feel like the only person in the room.
    And you secretly loved being looked at,
    being worshipped.
    So now you avoid mirrors.
    Because when you look at yourself,
    you remember me.”
    Kamand Kojouri

  • #27
    Kamand Kojouri
    “By loving you,
    I learn everything
    because your soul
    contains the entire universe.”
    Kamand Kojouri

  • #28
    Kamand Kojouri
    “Like a child who saves their favourite food on the plate for last, I try to save all thoughts of you for the end of the day so I can dream with the taste of you on my tongue.”
    Kamand Kojouri
