To love, is to Give

Nazura Mohamad 1973 (Selangor)



To love is to give, without asking one to understand
why our actions are sometimes weird and one kind
To love is to sacrifice, without asking anything in return
because sometimes, love is already returned and given
by her warm smile on a beautiful day
and our eyes met in a meaningful way
