I wanted them to get past the rumors. To see beyond the relationships I once had, or maybe still had but that they didn't agree with.

If my love were an ocean, there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand. If my love were a star- late at night, only light. And if my love could grow wings, I'd be soaring in flight.
