Let It Be-The Beatles<br /> Music is the only thing that makes sense any more-Me<br /> Make love, not war-a bunch of people<br /> Roses are red, Violets are blue, I have five fingers, The middle one&#039;s for you-Me :)

If only I had the courage.
If only I knew the words.

I could talk to you.

If only my friends wouldn't discourage.
If only my heart was as free as a bird.

I could talk to you.

I would tell you those eight letters.
I would tell you those dreaded three words.

I love you.

I was stressed last night, so what i do when I'm stressed, is write. This isn't about anyone. So i don't know how it came to me .
