Love and Sevda are two close friends, but one should be kept separate from the other. If love is a river, it flows calmly, its waters are clear; If it is a breeze, it gently caresses people on the seashore. Sevda is the form of love transformed into passion. Your enthusiasm flows, it rains, it dusts. It blows off the roof and pulls out roots! The eyes of love are smoky. You never know where it will land or who it will catch. Old, young, married or single will not listen. Love is anarchist, it creates terror. Sometimes it is a flower that blooms, its leaves are burned by frost. Sometimes it is a sun, embracing the universe. Depending on its location, love is the summer rain that waters the burnt soil in the steppe and gives life to the plants...
