True
When love costs money,
It's not true love,
When love gives you pain,
It's not true love.
When love makes you cry,
It's not true love.
When love makes you wish nothing happens to you and him,
That's what makes true love.
When you can't sleep without being in his arms,
That's true love.
When you can't wait to be with him for the rest of your life,
That's true love.
Dedicated to Jeremy Kuhns!
