Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. <br /> <br /> 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

All that we see or seem is but a dream withen a dream.<br /> <br /> Games that are bad dont get played, dont worry i&#039;ll play with those bad games until they get good.<br /> <br /> They say when you die you see your life flash before your eyes. Make it worth watching.<br /> ...<br /> I wanted to use you, but you have nothing I need. Nothing. You&#039;re an empty vessel...<br /> <br /> You&#039;re a little too 3D for a 2D girl. The more real you are, the more problems boys will have with you...<br /> <br /> His hearts up in the air, nobody knows where it will land or who will catch it...
