 When Words Become Love


In the heart of Hargeisa, amidst the everyday hustle and bustle, two young souls connect through the timeless art of poetry. This is the story of Xuseen and Hodan, a love story that began with a heartfelt love poem and blossomed into a deep, lasting bond.


Part 1: The First Love poem – A Silent Heart Speaks


Xuseen, a young poet who had always kept his feelings hidden, finally mustered the courage to express his love for Hodan through a simple yet powerful geeraar (love poem). He wrote down his emotions on a piece of paper and carefully slipped it into her book, hoping that she would read it and understand the depth of his feelings.



Part 2: Her Heart Responds – A Poetic Reply


When Hodan discovered the poem, her heart skipped a beat. She had always admired Xuseen from afar, but never knew that he felt the same. Touched by his words, she decided to respond in kind. She penned a poem of her own, acknowledging the love she felt in return, and left it in a place she knew Xuseen would find it. It was the beginning of something beautiful.



Part 3: Growing Closer – Love in Every Line


With every passing day, Xuseen and Hodan exchanged poems secret notes of love, admiration, and longing. The poetry became their special way of communicating, their bond growing stronger with each verse. They found comfort in each other’s words, and their connection deepened beyond the words on paper.



Part 4: The Test of Time – Distance and Silence


However, love is not always easy. Hodan was soon offered the opportunity to study at a university far from home. The distance between them grew, and with it, the silence began to stretch. Xuseen felt the absence of her presence, and though they continued to exchange a few letters, the bond seemed to weaken with time and distance. But Xuseen, ever hopeful, held onto the love they shared, knowing that true love waits.



Part 5: The Return – Rekindling the Flame


After a long year apart, Hodan returned to Hargeisa. The moment they saw each other again, everything seemed to fall back into place. Their hearts, once aching from the separation, now rejoiced in each other’s presence. Hodan had missed Xuseen as much as he had missed her, and their love reignited like a flame that never truly went out.




Part 6: A Final Poem – A Love That Endures


On a beautiful evening, as the sun set and painted the sky with hues of gold, Xuseen recited a final poem to Hodan. This poem was the culmination of their journey, a love story written in verses that had weathered time and distance. With love in his heart, he said:


> The years may pass,

People may come and go,

But my love for you remains steady,

Like a mountain that will never move.

Hodan, you are my heart's home.
