"It's so funny to how we set qualifications for the right person to love, while at the back of our minds we know that the person we truly love will always be an exception." "There would come a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person started means are not a part of it." "You will know when you really love someone when you want him to be happy even if their happiness means you are not a part of it." "There are some things that we never want to let go of people we never want to leave behind; but keep in mind that letting go is not the end of the world, but rather it is the beginning of a new life." "Just because someone doesn't love you the way you him or her to, doesn't mean they don't love you worth all he or she have." "Remember that the best relationship is when your love for each other is greater than your need for each other." "Two tear drops were floating down the river. One teardrop said to the other, "I'm the teardrop of a girl who loved a man and lost him. Who are you?"… "I'm the teardrop of the man who regret letting a girl go…" "You'll know that you miss someone very mush when everytime you think of that person, you heart breaks into pieces and just a quick "Hello" form that person can bring the broken pieces back…" "When you love someone, draw a circle around their name instead of a heart because hearts can be broken but circles never end." "Just a thought: What would you do if the only person who could make you stop crying is the person who makes you cry?" "Every step I took since the moment I could walk was a step towards finding you." "It's really painful to say goodbye to someone else that you don't want to let go; but it's even more painful to ask someone to stay if you can never make the relationship work out the way it should be." "LOVE? It's kind of complicated, but I'll tell you this… the second you're willing to make yourself miserable to make someone else happy, that's love right here…" "If I had the letters "HRT", I can add "EA" to get a "HEART" or a "U" and get "HURT". But I'd rather choose "U" and get "HURT than have a "HEART" without "U"." "Giving someone all your love is not an assurance that he will lobe you back. Don't expect love in return, wait for it to grown in his heart, if it doesn't, be contented it grows in you." "It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to tall in love with someone but it takes a lifetime to really forget someone you have grown to love." "When friends fall in love, it means they are meant for each other. But when friends fall out of love, it makes they want to keep each other forever…" "Don't be too good, I will miss you. Don't be too caring, I might like you. Don't be too sweet, I might fall. It's hard for me to love you when you won't love me after all." "A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believes." "If you love me. Please let me know because it hurts to love when you have to go. Take care of me, don't go away because if you lobe me, you will stay… I love you and do you know why? You got me when you first said Hi!" "What if someone tell you this: I don't believe in courtship. It's just a waste of time. If I love the person, I'll tell her right away. But for you I will make an exception… just love me now and I'll court you forever…" "A man realized he wanted his love back. Not wanting to get hurt, the girl said "NO". the man cried to God and asked "if it is meant to be, why did I lose her? God replied, "My child, you didn't lose her, you let her go…" "Friendship is a gift. You can give yourself, One to used daily not put on a shelf It's a gift of warmth and joy.That's applied with gentle art, A special kind of caring.That you share heart to heart Friendship is a gift.That blooms and grows And brightens up life's pathway.Just like a lively rose."
