LOVE IN ME
Written by Yvette
Love is an emotion that you never know when it shows
Love is also physical, a need that can be met
Play with love and find dreams of your future in others
-|
Love can have control on you life
. |
It can hurt it (your life) or help it (your life).
,:
I love with a love that is not understood by mortal man.
I
