Additional quotes by Najwa Zebian

You say that I mean ⁣
nothing ⁣
to you, ⁣
but you search for my eyes ⁣
in the face of every woman ⁣
you meet. ⁣
You search for my warmth ⁣
in the soul of every woman ⁣
you seek. ⁣
You think that ⁣
if time and circumstance ⁣
forced you to force me ⁣
out of your life, ⁣
that time and circumstance ⁣
owe you ⁣
a woman like me. ⁣
Search, my darling. ⁣
Search. ⁣
I do not come ⁣
twice ⁣
in the eternity that passed⁣
nor in the one to come.

He never loved you, but he loved
the reflection of the man he saw in your
eyes.
But listen to me, my friend.
You never loved him either.
You just loved being the queen.
You loved being the sun.
You loved being the woman behind a
great man.
You never loved him.
You loved having something to give.
Someone to fix. Someone to please.
You see, in love, you don't get what you
want.
You get what you think you get.
