How Often

Original Submission by Tawanna Wesley

How Often

How often do you wake up wising that you were being embraced by the arms of love?

How often do you feel vulnerable to love, and hope that in all honesty that love will give you love?

How often do you think about the romance that comes with love, and the chance to show how you feel about love?

How often did you make that mistake of thinking you found that one true love, only to find it was fake love?

How often have you heard "I love you" and it was only words…Just none action love?

How often have you had an orgasm that blew your mind every time, and it held on to you giving you joy, pleasure and love??

How often have you had that spine tingling effect after looking into the eyes of someone you love?

How often have you been surprised by the way things happen with love?

How often have you been selfish and distant just to get away from or ignore love??

How often have you been in love, but that particular love is not in love??

How often??
