Roaming by Rio-de-Janeiro, Rosie raced recklessly, Round and 'round, she roared, ridiculously. Rambunctious and ravenous, Rosie roguishly roamed, Relishing in the rhythm that Rio's streets owned. Relentlessly reveling, Rosie rattled and rocked, Riding rickety rickshaws, with riverside views unlocked. Revelers rejoiced, as she ricocheted in Rio's maze, Roaring with laughter, in the sun's golden blaze. Rumored to be the fastest, in Rio's joyful entourage, Rosie raced for the record, like a rapid, raging barrage. Radiantly joyful, she rambled with fervor and might, Roaring with triumph, through the enchanting city's sight. Rio-de-Janeiro, the resplendent rhythm she embraced, Raucously laughing, as the city's pulse paced. Regardless of the race, Rosie reveled in cheer, Rio-de-Janeiro, forever a memory, so dear!
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
