Quotes

It’s easy to see

The delight I am taking

In this life

I am always smiling

I am in love
.has quoted7 months ago
If I had never held your hand

Never been so close

To the most kissable lips in the universe

Never wanted ever so much

To rest my tongue in your dimple

Maybe I could sleep at night
.has quoted7 months ago
If this question I ache to ask

could be answered

If only I could stop dreaming

of you

Maybe I could sleep

at night
