Poetry (Puisi)

                   Love Make Sense

I'll smile everytime you smile
I'll cry everytime you cry
I'll hug you anytime you need
I'll hold you in my arms in the sadest moments
I'll protect you from everything and everyone
...If you want to stay alone.. I'll stay by your side

Because you make my life perfect
With a huge smile everyday
you complete every piece of me with your love
It will never end....




                     Cinta Membuat Rasa

 Aku akan tersenyum setiap kali Anda tersenyum
Aku akan menangis setiap kali Anda menangis
Aku akan memelukmu kapan saja Anda butuhkan
Aku akan memegang tanganmu, di saat-saat sadest
Aku akan melindungi Anda dari segala sesuatu dan semua orang
... Jika anda ingin tinggal sendirian .. Saya akan tinggal di sisimu

Karena Anda membuat hidupku sempurna
Dengan senyum lebar setiap hari
Anda menyelesaikan setiap bagian dari saya dengan cinta Anda
Itu tidak pernah akan berakhir ....
