Bad relationship Quote by Sophie Parkin
“A Man will try to be stoic, strong and keep a stiff upper-lip; Repressing his emotions for not a peep of the world to see. A REAL MAN will bare you his heart, letting his emotions flow free through the sluice-gates; And cry before you for how much you mean to him, just how much he can take and how far he has come to showcase you a cinema of his inner strength and masculinity.”
