Personal AdA lovely womanwrites; "The early bird catches this worm."She seeks a good manwho....nll give her a rose without thoms,tired of playing love gamesbecause it seems every time it's her blame.She is trying to find her true love,her partner to create kissing doves;he must send photo and letter.PS Love will bloom if you let her.

YouThe closer I get the farther it seemsYall wonder what Ido?You wonder what's my theme?Always dirty, never cleanNever nice, always meanYou ridicule me for being uniqueBut what about you little freak?Nobody cares what I doIf it's false or if it's trueYou are the only exception to this rulemaybe that's why they call you the fool.

Last Night I HadThe Strangest Dream

Last night I had the strangest dreamIdreamt that Iwas youand you were me.

The night before Ihad a very weird dream.You wore my clothes

and acted like me.Last night Ihad the strangest dream.You stole my boyfriend from little 0 1 ' me.Last night Ihad a very weird dream.Ipunched you in your face but

then it hurt meThe following morning Iwoke up

with a shock.I read 8 am in my bright green clock

and Iwas me and you were youbut what Idreamt last nightcame to be true.

End of the WorldThe world is going to end they sayin the year 2000 maybe in MaySome say that a great starfrom Heaven will fallOr maybe the Earth will burnlike a great big fireball.The waters are going to rise,and that's one way we will meet our demisefor Bible scrolls warns of disaster.I don't know what to believe,maybe someone has the answer.
