The Ten Commandments of Love

To stand before the one I love and tell her how much i care To gently whisper in her ear that I'll always be there To give her things like diamond rings and play her favorite songs To hold her hand and sit next to her be with her all day long To close my eyes and think of her when she is away To bow my head and clasp my hands and for her fervently pray When I'm alone I'm sure to phone just to hear her voice Impress her ear and make it clear that she's my one and only choice And when she bids me that I may have her in wedded bliss Then thank God for his kindness for giving me all this

Can't believe my "friends" thought it was fine for PD to slam me when I never said anything public against her. Very sad to see you among them.
