The Question About Love
Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)
I can be quite demanding.
I ask for standards in relationships.
Is the unfaithful really what love is?
I am thinking if it's the truth
What's going on right in front of me?
Can love be a good thing?
Would it be admired if adultery exists?
I feel my crushing habits will cease.
I don't flirt anymore regardless if they're persistently wanting me.
