Love For the Right Reasons

a person once told me, "You must love with no fear, but don't love the love you crave because of the attention you receive."  Love because you love that person not because the attention you get from them.  Don't let how his words melt your heart cloud your judgement of what he really wants.  Let his actions dictate how he really feels, cause words may bring you to believe something that's not real.  How I crave for something so elegant, so pure, a man who doesn't want just what's underneath the cloth, but what's in your heart!
