Expectations Quote by Shiv Kumar
““Love is selfless. It does not dictate terms. Expectations are natural but not compulsory. It doesn’t say I will love you as long as you will listen to me. The minute you will disobey me I will leave you. It says I will show you the right path. If you choose a path which is wrong according to me than I will not support you but I will still love you””
About This Quote
