You wish to fly You think, if you try hard enough You will grow wings. I think it's crazy. I'm afraid you're going to crash after I see you fall. But I don't stop you.But I give you the benefit of the doubt.But I choose to believe you.My heart wants to support you.My head wants [...]

What is Love?
What is love? In just one word, I asked myself. After a long silence, My heart responded, "Love is happiness." Just enough to make me cry,Just enough to make me smile,Just enough to make me do both together.So what is love?In just one word,I ask you.

Best Thing All Week
Running like crazyBehind a speeding suitcase,He emerged.Alone holding a plate of dumplingsIn his way,She happened to be.Bewildered,She stood rooted,Not knowing about the next second.Screeching to a halt,He looked up at her from his suitcaseAnd smiled, rather broadly.It was a beautiful smileFrom a handsome foreignerWho didn't crash into her.Agreeing so,Feeling amused,She smiled back.Again speeding, again eating,Going [...]
