Love does not die of just a single blow,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecF3BEiiKg
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFHk2u9ucJ
One drop follows another as love flows,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX7VxPdwzx
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9a6zMmoC0
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VBgAF9tBV
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6vOOnngUk
A thousand unkind words from me and you,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6CA6v1JNW
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuMmYu0aO9
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNiW7NQaJx
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TBGJAxWKD
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHUgRnjPAN
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxptpDpdPU
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMla1JXZyb
Suppurating reminders all too real.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvy7DUgZs
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxaFiGz3Bw
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZGBhTs6ML
And what remains just a facade in truth.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYxTsqqeiV
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvpd562Xa4
