Love.

Sometimes we may not get what we want , when we want . But it may come to us ,at least expected time from least expected places. We might not be ready that time but we can be thankful that it came to lit us up. It can be a person, a feeling , a song that we waited for , a object or anything that we desired.

So , on this note I'll pick " I want to know what love is " by Foreigner.

Foreigner is a British -American rock band formed in 1976 by English musician Mick Jones and fellow Briton Ian Mc Donald along with vocalist Lou Gramm. Foreigner are the one of the best selling bands of all time . There hits include Cold as Ice , waiting for a girl like you , Feels like the first time, Long Long way from home to list few.
