Mint and cigarette

Mint and cigarette
I hate one of the two,
But they both smell good on you.
One makes me breathless,
And the other gives me chills.
Yet when it’s wrapped around you, I have a hate and love relationship with it.
Maybe I love it because It tells me you’re here,
And I hate it because it pushes me away.

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist

This love

I will fight until I get it right
Hold on, to this life of mine
I’ll love ’till I find the one
Help until my body is of no use
I’ll save who I can
This love of mine I will give it full
Letting go of things that forbid,
This love I was given to give

The world needs love. Don’t be afraid to share what you’ve got, even the smallest smile could make someone’s day. PS Sending love to all who are reading this I hope you have a lovely day.
