“Take me back to the time when pain was unknown to me and my heart didn’t learn to ache. When I thought, no matter where life took us, the thing between us would never change. When I used to believe in the concept of forever and assumed that all would be the same. When I used to believe in you. Take me back to those times where we didn’t have to pretend to be strangers. Where we weren’t you and me. Where we used to be us.”

“I tell myself I admire you from a distance, that I do not long for more—but my heart betrays me every time you walk into the room. There is no logic to love, no reason for why my hands tremble when you are near. But if this is foolishness, then let me be a fool forever.”

“Am I blessed or cursed to know what true love is?
I know when a man is in love with you. I know how his eyes soften when he speaks your name, as if you're his favorite word. I know how your laughter fills his soul, and how your silence can break his heart. I know how words feel like home. I know how he makes you feel seen. I know how he makes time for you, even in a world that pulls him in every direction. I know when you're not just a part of his day —you’re his peace. You’re his priority. I know how a man loves. I know how he listens, not just to your words, but to the feelings you don’t speak. He would go to the ends of the earth, he would break the world just to see you smile. I know when a man is in love with you. I know when love is real. You feel love in your skin and bones. I know what it means to be loved without being hurt.
But I also know when a man stops loving you—I know how it feels when the excitement in his voice disappears. I know how it feels when your name on his lips feels unfamiliar. I know how it feels when you start to realize the distance in the spaces between his words. I know how it feels when the distance between you grows wider with every passing day. I know how it feels when his eyes no longer search for you. I know how it feels when he takes that love away. I know how it feels when you're forced to bury your feelings. I know how it feels when your conversations become obligations. I know how it feels when you lose not just the man, but every right to love him. I know how it feels to feel like a stranger in the heart you once called home. I know when a man isn’t in love with you anymore. I know how it feels when his absence feels heavier than his presence ever did. I know how it feels when you're no longer a choice. I know how it feels when you realize that love shouldn’t feel like a burden, yet you carry it anyway. I know how it feels when love turns cold. I know what it is like to be suffocated by his indifference. I know the pain of being abandoned by the one you gave your all to. I know the weight of watching love fade, searching for where it all went wrong. I know the weight of empty replies. I know the weight of staring at your phone, expecting a message that stays unsent. I know the weight of waiting endlessly. I know the weight of watching the days pass, wondering if he'll remember you. I know the weight of pretending everything's fine when you're crumbling inside. I know the weight of convincing yourself that maybe tomorrow, things will change. I know the weight of holding onto hope. I know how it feels to be left with a love that only stings. I know when a man stops loving you.

How blessed I am with understanding of love, and how cursed I am to not be the one capable of love. Why do we have to find out how to love in a painful way?”

“The moment I fell from your eyes, I realized why flowers lose their vibrancy

—and wither after blooming.”
― Zaishah, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BLOOM: A Guide To Self-Healing

“No man is ever blind to the peace of the woman he loves. He sees the shadows beneath her eyes, hears the quiet tremble in her voice, feels the weight she carries even in her silence—the way her laughter dims when she is unloved. If he loves her, he will know when her silence is not peace but surrender, when her smile is not joy but endurance. A man who loves her will not be careless with the softness she offers—because love, real love, does not pretend not to notice. If he loves her, truly loves her, he will not be the storm that unsettles her or the wound she has to heal from. Because love, when real, does not make a home in someone’s ruin—it becomes the place where they can finally rest.”

“But you can’t let go of the people your heart chooses.

― Zaishah, At The Touch Of Love: A Novel

“We're all those things that coexist but not meant to be—Two rivers, flowing side by side but never merging. Two boats, sailing parallel but never coming together—Two stories, written in the same book, but bound to different pages—Two stars, but shining in separate galaxies.”
― Zaishah, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BLOOM: A Guide To Self-Healing

“What I couldn’t see before.
It’s not your leaving that hurts,
But your presence that you never gave.

“If I must suffer, let it be in loving you. If loving you is a sickness, then let me never be cured.”
― Zaishah, Heart Beating Among The Thorns: Courage To Begin Again

“I miss you like the wind misses the silence before the storm, like the earth aches for rain in a season of drought. You are not here, yet your absence is louder than presence, heavier than the night that refuses to end.

I call your name, but it does not answer—like a bird that has forgotten how to return home. If I could hold time in my hands, I would fold it gently, press it against my chest, and give you back to me. But time does not listen, and neither do you.

You, who once called my heart your home, have forgotten the way back.”
― Zaishah, Heart Beating Among The Thorns: Courage To Begin Again

“Letting go isn’t the hardest part,
It’s convincing my heart to stop,
Waiting for your return.
It’s not the goodbye that breaks me,
It’s the hope that you’ll walk back through the door.”
― Zaishah, Protecting My Peace At All Cost: The Love I Deserve

“There is nothing poetic about my longing for you—it is raw, relentless, and entirely beyond my control.”
― Zaishah, Heart Beating Among The Thorns: Courage To Begin Again

“Don’t you just hate it when you look back and see how much you’ve missed out on? How carelessly you ignored me when all I believed was you. You never felt the love I had for you; you never knew you couldn’t see it. The love that was there, just waiting to be. The love that didn’t ask for anything but you. The love that bled from my shattered heart. The love that turned to ashes. The love that wilted like a neglected garden. The love that drowned in the ocean of my tears. The love that suffocated in the void you left behind.”
― Zaishah, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BLOOM: A Guide To Self-Healing

“When I first met you, it felt as if we had already met somewhere in the skies. A part of me always knew you.

I don't know how it happened, but you just made me feel something deep within. All I know is that you came into my life when I was not even looking for you. You touched some chord in my heart that no one else in the world could ever touch before. All I know is that something right happened to me because of you.”
― Zaishah, All Is Not Lost: Journey To Yourself
