If love is a gift from God, then why am I not blessed?
If love makes us go right, then why am i wrong?
If love is a story, why am i not a character?
If love is a written poem in a book, why am I not a line in there?
If love starts with two, why am I one?
IF love is the air we breath, then why am I dead?
If love is a dream, them am I going to be awake forever?
IF love is a piece of art, why cant i draw?
If love is the morning light, why do i live in dark?
If love is music, why dont I play anything?
I know love isnt a game, tahts why I'm not a player
Love is romance, and in life thats the top layer
Nothing compared to love is ever enough
A kiss completes love, and its never taugh
Sometimes we love to live, and sometimes we live to love.. Love isnt a secret when its felt it shouldnt be hidden!

I express myself through writing. I expect people to sometimes read whats between the lines, sometimes you have to read things twice or more to better understand them or get the idea of them.

Fall in love or fall in hate; Get inspired or be depressed; Ace a test or flunk a class; Make babies or make art; Speak the truth or lie and cheat; Dance on tables or sit in the corner; Life is divine chaos. Embrace it. Breathe. And enjoy the ride...

Don&#039;t tell me the sky&#039;s the limit when there are footprints on the moon.<br /> Love Always. :)<br /> When the tides of life turn against you and the current upsets your boat, don&#039;t waste time and tears on what might have been, just lie on your back and float.

&quot;To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It&#039;s not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Taylor Swift
