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.
