Its a proverb, but you're a minute or two too late. I already posted it, the translation goes "salutation is not love" Continue deluding yourself. You probably don't know that you are up against the oracle, lol Don't come here empty handed, its against the rules "Oracle with no proverb(s)" yeah right |
