Gossip remains
Upon one's shell-shaped ears
Far longer than the truth
Lies upon one's bow-shaped lips
**************************
It is easier to believe
That everyone dislikes
You rather than believe
That they love you
**************************
Love is like a flower
With the proper
Treatment it blooms
Without it, it withers and dies
**************************
Friendship is like love
Treated right,
it will last forever
Ignored, it will wither away
