Love

Love is something that makes you feel happy
It’s something you don't give up on even if it’s hard
Love is something that doesn’t always come easy
It’s something that you can get addicted to
Something that makes you lose track of time
Love is something that can help you to grow in positive directions
It’s something that usually loves you back
Love is something you can’t run away from, it will catch you sooner or later
It’s something that in your eyes shines like a full moon
Love is something you know, but don't understand
It’s something that guides you through your fears
Love is original

About your possessions?
