If you see Two in One - I only see One in Two
If you dig a pit for others to fall into, you will fall into it yourself.

If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing.
Be patient, even if every possibility seems closed.
If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.
If I Separated Myself From You . . . I Would Turn Entirely Thorn!
If I hold you with my emotions, you'll become a wished-for companion.
Live life as if its rigged in your favor.
If these poems repeat themselves, then so does Spring.
