People die of love. Im one of the few wholl admit it. That doesnt mean it isnt true.Take all the people who died yesterday, or last week, or last year. Subtract all the suicides and the so-called accidents of the brokenhearted. Take away the men who got blown away for being in the wrong bed at the wrong moment, the women in abusive marriages who died of cancer because they couldnt find any other exit from their lives. All the AIDS deaths except from the needles and the transfusions, the ones they call the innocent victims. Like if you have sex, youre guilty. Deserved just what you got.Now tell me who all youve got left.Without love the world would be overpopulated, except that without love it wouldnt be populated at all. Love giveth and love taketh away and all that crap. Youll probably say all those people died from the lack of love, but I say its two sides of the same coin. So its the same coin.
