CAN YOU LEARN IT?

POEMS

The rose is red, the violet's blue,

The honey's sweet, and so are you.

Thou art my love and I am thine;

I drew thee to my Valentine:

The lot was cast and then I drew,

And Fortune said it shou'd be you.

Collection of English nursery rhymes

Love is when that special someone kisses you.

Love is having someone to talk to.

Love is being romantic on that one day.

Love is happiness that is shown day after day

THAT'S WHAT LOVE IS!
