Maybe Something Great
It was just normal Monday afternoon, when I was out shopping for food for my brothers and me. When, I saw the man of my dreams. He was walking down the streets and looked like he just came from the coal mines. He turned my direction and we locked gazes, and I knew it was forever. -
The Hurt
