Girl Quote by Mahmoud El Hallab
“I want the old you back, not the girl I see in front of me. Where's the girl that I used to stay up all night with and fall asleep on the phone with? Where's the girl who always looked at me like I was her only, the girl who was always there for me. I want the girl who always made me laugh and smile, not the one who brings me down into a frown. What happened? where did you go? I wish you'd come back. I miss you, the girl who I used to know, not the one I see in front of me. Not the girl who stomps on my heart into tiny pieces, not the one who doesn't give a damn about me anymore. Look down deep inside, this isn't you. I wish you'd realize that cause it hurts me to know I'm losing the one who matters most to me.”
