The Question About Love

Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)

I can be quite demanding.

I ask for standards in relationships.

Is the unfaithful really what love is?

I am thinking if it's the truth

What's going on right in front of me?

Can love be a good thing?

Would it be admired if adultery exists?

I feel my crushing habits will cease.

I don't flirt anymore regardless if they're persistently wanting me.
