I Love You But I Don'T Know Why

I love you but I don’t know why. I love your lips which seem too thin for a kind person, your grey-green deceitful eyes which are too dry and too unmerciful to cry for broken hearts. I love your skin which chilly whiteness is akin to fallen snow in hot July. I love your blush when I begin to talk of the engagement ring which I allegedly have bought. I love you but I don’t know why I love. The only thing that I don't love is that you love me not. A modified French sonnet (abba abba bbc Aac)… Hm, wait a sec, that's what I'll call you! A French abc-sonnet :3

This made me chuckle while shedding a tear for the poor fellow. Google Gong Show and Unknown Comic. Then you will understand my joke. It goes with your current avatar. ;0)

Kurt, this made me laugh. "I love your blush when I begin to talk of the engagement ring which I allegedly have bought. " Love it!
