Love Can

Love can hurt, and Love can heal Love can pierce, and Love can seal Love can cool, and Love can burn Love can calm, and Love can churn Love can soothe, and Love can sting Love can take, and Love can bring Love can go, and Love can stay Love can keep, and Love can pay Love can free, and Love can bind Love can lose, and Love can find Love can kill, and Love can raise Love can numb, and Love can craze Love is that, and Love is this It's a wound and it's a kiss Love is all it's meant to be Love is good when you're with me Love is splendid when it's true Love is at its best in you!
