"You look pretty cute... for an Arab" (worry)
"You look pretty cute" (truth)

I listened to Yuna before knowing you

We had our first awkward silent moment together tonight
It reminded me of my failure with women
Forgive me for it
I'm scared

It's a time bomb ticking away Hummingbird
you'll choose sooner than I am capable of moving
the pressure, the obligation, the elderly respect, it will get to you
You're scared?

A lab still barks when she's stuck in a kennel
and a sloth ponders every movement no matter where he lingers
I'll be your patience
You be my courage

انا احصل على المندفعين 

المرضى من ثلاث وعشرون سنة العزلة

السيدة احمد أنقذوني 

Closer

It's another one of my classic over-reactions
but this one is different
the connection that I strive for 
is haram to your God and spiteful to mine

And yet they are almost one and the same
your Allah, my Father

Devout in faith you are, as am I
we're both professed sinners, yet both feel saved

Can we be each other's saviors of the rejected holy man?
Would Muhammad and Christ embrace us?
Would our families accept the other?

The truth is, you bring me closer to God
your dedication to your truth
is a motivator to strive in my Truth further
A constant reminder that the goal is selflessness

I respect you too much to change you and so much to comfort you

An explorer looking directly into the Arab sand that blows in my face
within each speck I see beauty, morality, and difficulty

I'll ponder the thought while peering at the night's sky
A crescent moon glows bright
The north star burns brighter/beside it
