Love Quote by Shakespeare

“You say you love the sun, but you cover your eyes when it shines .. You say you love the rain, but you open your umbrella when it pours .. You say you love wind, but you close your windows when it blows .. That's why I'm afraid when you say YOU love Me ..” quote by Shakespeare
