Love Hurts The air stream was strong‚ and the wind whistled through open windows; it was the dead of night and the street looked as lifeless and forlorn as ever. The cobbles still remained unscathed‚ as if nobody had wanted to pace onto that territory. The dense gardens of boarded up houses lay untouched‚ whilst houses which were occupied had the same warmth glow that homes have‚ like the homes where families live in and play in their gardens for the duration of summer.
