First Tribute

"Legilla 1" by: Eric L. Boddie Love for this girl has already set in It is friendly, but I still have to grin God Is In you, I don't have to pretend Every word I have read lets me know that I will win Long after our connection, your words will still begin Lasting inspiration as if it were the newest trend And I will be the perpetrator....killing them with my pen....
