Love Quotes
it is not wrong to have someone in our heart... because it is common thing for teenager..
as my advice for someone who want to start the relationship...
find someone that is really2 suit with you...
not because of their wealth or face...
but find someone that can make you smile...

for someone who in the relationship...
keep the love and don't let it fly away from you...
because all love have wings...
and it can easy come and go...

for someone who just end their relationship...
it's okay...
love can come back to you...
if you still believe that there still have a hope...
don't be sad...
maybe there are someone better for you...

for someone who never had a relationship bafore...
be patient...
there is someone waiting for you...
God is not cruel...


AND AS THE CONCLUSION...

LOVE IS SWEET...
