People always portrayed us as enemies, like two boxers on opposite sides of the ring, but of course it was never really like that,
You can be lonely when you have a guy living with you.
concept distance felt love music neither time
To me, the concept of distance is not important. Distance doesn't exist, in fact, and neither does time. Vibrations from love or music can be felt everywhere, at all times.
