I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&rdquo; <br /> ― Marilyn Monroe

The first time I saw you,
I knew you were the only one that I needed,
You gave me such a beautiful look,
I knew I was yours for forever.

The first time I saw you,
I saw your eyes,
I saw them, they were dark brown like a long road in Heaven,
I wanted to forget everything and go there,
I wanted to be forgotten in your dark brown eyes,
I think you felt the same.

The first time I saw you,
The first look you gave me,
I felt when you looked at me that lightning flashed between us,
I know it was something special between us,
It was love that was shining from our hearts...

I know though LOVE is so WONDERFUL it is also very PRECARIOUS.
