Love? I always thought love was just something that ate away your sanity, left you with an inferiority complex, and filled you with jealousy...and bitterness.
Noi-chan told me all about love... and now I know the truth.
Love is an illusion. Nothing more than that.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. <3
So many people get hung up on love while life passes them by.


Tomoko Hayakawa
