![“[Love Wasn’t as They Said] Love wasn’t as they said… It didn’t last forever as they claimed… It is fleeting moments only recognized By those with sight and insight… And perhaps only captured By those patiently waiting as if to see a lightning in the sky… And, like lightning perhaps, we never know…” quote by Louis Yako](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/239/louis-yako-20010_arabic-literature_love-wasn-t-as-they-said-love-wasn-t-as_85936.jpg)
