LOVE VOCABULARY

LOVE is undoubtedly one of the best subjects to talk about when you feel it. People can say it's a gay thing for men to come up with, people can say it's not supposed to be talked about, people can say it's something beyond words. I prefer to call it one of our greatest gifts.

LOVE can be expressed in different ways: You can show love for your family, your friends, your job or even your country. It's hard to define such a feeling. You just know it's there!!!
