Love is a pink falling...

Love is a pink falling
Love is a pink depth of falling
Love is a depth of gold
Love is a depth of gold spattering
Love is a manic illumination •

I am such a prude, haha. Although love and its companions themselves are great, I avoid all talks of romance, love, and intercourse. They embarrass me.

Still, love is good for you. Studies show that the elderly whom have close connections - be they family, friends, or lovers - live longer than those who are lonely and have no one.

So love with all that you have and expect the same in return. It is good for you. •
