39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
Love is like a butterfly.
The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.
But if you just let it fly, it would come to you when you least expect it.
Love can make you happy but often times it hurts,
it's only special when you give it to someone who is worth it.
So take your time and choose the best.

Close your eyes so you don't feel them
They don't need to see you cry
