Sebhar])

peacefrog])
25. I believe in Karma, what you give is what you get returned. I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned. I believe the grass is no greener on the other side. I believe you don't know what you've got until you say good bye. - Savage Garden - "Affirmation" (courtesy of [
