F-

You knew you shouldn't have cared so much about a girl that cares so much about her religion. You knew getting involved with her in a romantic way would always lead to her yelling at you about how "Allah wouldn't want this". You knew that you two would only have a codependent, toxic situationship. God, Farah was a wonderful woman, gorgeous, spoke to you in all the right ways, but there was one big problem—her very complicated relationship with her religion. You'd be cuddled up with Farah, murmuring soft words to each other one minute, the next... She'd be yelling at you about how it's a sin, a disgusting thing. But you always texted back, called back, let her back into your life. Sometimes it wasn't even about religion, sometimes it was just her naming off how much she hated you and exactly what she hated about you, sometimes something else.
