A Million KissesGLAY7rank/position

GLAY / One Million Kisses

I wonder how people first learned to express love—how it sprouted and grew.

Maybe it’s through actions.

With no one to teach me, I still can’t explain why I met you, or why I came to love you.

Since I don’t know the reason, I want to give you a million kisses and share even more, and love you gently.
