"To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved , that's everything." - T. Tollis
Black - White... It doesn't matter. It's not that love sees no color, we see each other's race.... It just doesn't matter. Black, white, tan, red, yellow... Love is love and there is no replacement for love.
"I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you for even more." - Angelita Lim
