waiting for you
love is not physical appearance
Nurse: "It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am ,
when an elderly gentleman, in his 80's, presented to have sutures
(stitches) removed from
his thumb.
He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an
appointment at 9:00 am . I
(nurse) took his vital signs and had him take a seat,
knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided,
since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam
it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed
supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in
conversation.
Asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning
somewhere else, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he
needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she
had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease.
As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound,
I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no
longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him. "And you are still
going every morning, even
though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he
patted my hand and said. "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she
is."
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps
on my arm, and
thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love
is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
Good friends are like stars...You don't always see
them, but you always know they're there

A way of love
There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This
romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper-cranes as a gift to his girl.
Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future
doesn't seemed too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day,
his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back.
She also told him that she couldn't visualize any future for the both of
them, so let's go their own ways there and then ...Heartbroken, the guy
agreed. But when he regains his confidence, he worked hard day and night,
slogging his body and mind just to make something out of him.
Finally with all these hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set
up his own company. You never fail until you stop trying one rainy day,
while this guy was driving; he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella
the rain walking to some destination.
Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him
long to realize those were his girl's parents. With a heart in getting back
at them, he droved slowly beside the couple, wanting them to
spot him in his luxury sedan.
He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore; he had his own
company, car, comfort etc. He made it! Before the guy can realize, the
couple was walking towards a cemetery, and he got out of his car and
followed.... and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as
ever at him from her tombstone... and he saw his paper cranes beside her.
Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you,
for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant
nothing to you Her parents saw him. He asks them why had this happened.
They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with
cancer.
She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be
his obstacle ..... therefore she had choose to leave him ...
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have She had wanted her parents to
put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings
him to her again he can take some of those back with him ...
Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may
escape but what's in your heart will remain forever
The guy just wept ..... The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting
right
beside them knowing you can't have them

promises you keep
From the very beginning, girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to family's pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the girl loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the gal often vents her anger on him. As for him.. he only endured it in silence. After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal: "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged. The gal went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving up. One day, while the gal was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum cry, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She had lost her voice.... The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. Listening to her parents' comfort, but with nothing coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides silent cry. it's still just silent cry that accompanied her. Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing tone of the phone which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions & millions of reply and countless phone calls. all the gal could do besides crying is still crying.... The parents decided to move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy. With a new environment, the gal learnt sign language & started a new life. Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One day, her friend came & told her that he's back. She asked her friend not to let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn't anymore news of him. A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing an invitation card for the guy's wedding. The gal was shattered. When she opened the letter, she saw her name on it instead. When she was about to ask her friend what was going on, she saw the guy standing in front of her.... He used sign language to tell her, "I've spent a year to learn sign language. Just to let you know that I've not forgotten our promise. Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You." With that, he slipped the ring back into her finger. The gal finally smiled......
what you did for love
There was a blind girl who was filled with animosity and despised the world.
She didn't have many friends, just a boyfriend who loved her deeply, like no one else.
She always used to say that she'd marry him if she could see him. Suddenly, one day someone donated her a pair of eyes…
And that's when she finally saw her boyfriend…
She was astonished to see that her boyfriend too was blind…
He told her, "You can see me now, can we get married?"
She replied, "And do what? We'd never be happy. I have my eye sight now, but you're still blind. It won't work out, I'm sorry."
With a tear in his eye and a smile on his face, he meekly said, "I understand. I just want you to always be happy. Take care of yourself, and my eyes."

Choosing the right one
So I have a friend and one day she told me that she's dating her old best friend. He moved already so they have a long distance relationship. They've been together for quite a long time and not much knew about them. One day there's a guy that keeps bugging her and her boyfriend dislike it. Her boyfriend hates it when this guy wanted to get close to her. She didn't want anyone to know about her relationship so she can't tell or deny him or else he will know. Once they kept on fighting because of the same guy. It was her friend and they've been best friends since grade 7, it's hard for her to have to reject him because she feels terrible having to reject him. Not long I called her through Skype then suddenly he called her, I heard what he say and they fight there. I was so sad that he did that to her. He's not a guy who can understand a girl, if he truly did love her he wouldn't just let her go that easy, he would've fight for her and make things okay. Suddenly not long after that, my friend told me that she broke up. I was very sorry for her that he did that to her. I was mad at that guy for doing that. I really want to tell to him not to do that and understand her more but I guess now its too late, there's nothing I can do. I just hope that the guy will be better and more understanding to the girl if he was in a relationship. I wish that the girl will find someone way better than him and someone who won't let her down and do the same thing to her.

Stranger to Lover
On August 12, my friend who is a guy he's in this basketball team near my house, at that time there were event from the club and they invited some professional basketball players from NBL. So I asked some of my friends to come and we four went there together. It was so cool seeing those basketball stars played againts some of the chosen guys. After it there's this one guy that add me, he asked my bb pin from my friend and she told me that this guy is going to add me, so he did that night. I didn't start a chat and he didn't start the chat too. Then one day I started to chat with him because I wanted to find out why he added me and such I was thinking that it will end quickly but then he keeps chating and chating. After stalking him in facebook I knew that guy because I ever saw him playing againts the NBL stars. Since then we began to know each other and he asked me to go out with him but also with his friend. One of my school friend know him so he also joined. After all of that chatting and going out with him for a couple of times I fell in love with him. I think that he's a very gentlemen, great, nice, and super kind guy. He is very kind-hearted and mostly caring. I quickly fell in love with him because I knew how he acts towards me when we met and he's not shy, and he's not shy to introduce me to his friends. I never knew someone like him, even my friends aren't like him as a friend. I know that he's going to be a great best friend to me, but I fell in love with him and the feeling is different. One of his friend told me that he liked me, I was surprised when I heard that, so I told him that I like him too but I didn't want him to tell that to him. On 22 of August he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend and he wanted to meet me to ask me but he can't help it but too ask, so he call me on skype. I was super happy and I said yes and now we've been together for a month and I had a lot of fun and my life just been amazing. I had no problems and I was just very happy. I hope that we will always be together even through tough times. Thanks to my friend and the event that happened. I'm very thankful for it.
The person that you never expected to be with, ends up to be someone who's very important in your life.

I Didn't Know I Was Falling in Love-poopster (my friend)
There's this guy. He's older than me. I never knew he'd be so charming. One time, he added my Facebook account and I looked at his pictures, mutual friends and other stuffs. After a few days I accepted his friend request, he sent me a message saying "Hi." and I thought it was a joke or he was bored. So I replied "Hi, who are you?" he told me we are in the same school, but different grades. No wonder he was so familiar. We would talk all day and he finally asked my number! And we texted a lot everyday. I was playing hard to get, haha. Anyway, he always asked me who I like, and I would say "No one." because that's the truth. But a while after that question, he asked me again, I was so annoyed, so I answered, "YOU." and I asked him back, he said "I LIKE YOU TOO." I was super surprised! Then I laughed, he asked "So... would you be my girlfriend?" I thought being a girlfriend was just those toys. But here we are now! After 4 years, through sunshine and rainbow, storms and rain, we still stand strong together as one.
True Love Turned into Nightmare
Hi, my name is James and my wife name is Angel. We have been together now for 5 years. Let me start with my background before I met my wife. Like all men, I too was enjoying my life to the fullest. I had lot of friends; went on a weekend outing, drinks, party and so on. I am a Christian and she is a Hindu and I had a lot of opposition from my parents and families. Even my friends advised me to stop seeing her and start new considering the consequences. But I was so much in love with her that I thought it is worth to live with her for 2 minutes and die rather than living without her for rest of the life. I somehow convinced my parents and families risking my father’s life. Due to all this chaos he had a major cardiac arrest and underwent bypass surgery. My mom’s blood pressure shoot to 190 and she bled from nose. Doctor said that she was lucky to live because with such high BP she could have had a cardiac arrest and would have never recovered. Well, I faced all these problems but still was firm to my parents that she is the one. I started losing interest in everything; started coming home drinking a lot, met with an accident and was just seconds away from death. My parents looking at my ordeal approved our wedding and we got married.
I could have married Angel without my parent’s consent, but my parents have done so much for me that I want their blessing in my wedding. We got married and everything was going fine for 5 to 6 months and then problems started. Considering that I am now a married person and have a lot of responsibilities I started concentrating in my work. I distanced myself with all of my friends, started working for 16hrs a day (so that I can have overtime), and even started working on weekends. All my hard work paid off, I was promoted as an Asst. Manager and had a salary hike of 75%.
The problem is my wife is suspicious on me for everything; she checks my mobile call log, messages and even my purse. She does not let me go out even for a minute, she keeps on calling me all day checking where I am, what I am doing, with who I am. She checks my mobile for unknown numbers and calls them back from her mobile to see if that is a male or a female. If it is a female, she creates such a ruckus that I feel like I am becoming a murderer with all the negative thoughts (can’t explain it here). Well, being a manager I have a lot of responsibilities and get calls all day long. I really don’t know what to do; I love her more than anything but her behaviour has made to think again. I have sacrificed my life so much for her and still sacrifice a lot but she pushes me to the limit.
It is no use talking to her, I have tried so many times to try to talk it to her and have her understand that her behaviour is not right. By God’s grace I have everything now and financially well settled. I am just thinking if she is really worth all my sacrifices or if I should move on without her.
Please let me know your suggestions to [email protected]. I am very desperate..!
Thank You
James

From Friend to Lover...
It all started in the summer of 1995, when I was 10.
I grew up in an upper-class family in London. My father, Albert, was a business man and worked in a company where he'd meet new people everyday. My mother, Katherine, worked for a fashion institute, so out of school hours, I was left to be cared for by our house maid, Maria. One day, when I was 10, my father invited a new friend of his who worked in the same company. I remember that day clearly. Jack, his wife Mary and only daughter entered our front door as my parents greeted them into our humble home. This wasn't any different to the hundreds of guests we would have every year but that there was someone the same age as me, who I could enjoy the presence of. My mother told me to take their daughter to the play-room where we could be out of their way, so I did. We rambled on about everything as 10 year old's do. I learnt that her name was Lydia and that she was 10 and wanted to be a model. We became friends at their first visit, and after my parents became good friends with hers our meetings became more frequent. Our mothers would meet at least once a week for the first few months. But then came the point where their family moved much closer to ours, so Me and Lydia could meet whenever we wanted. And we did...
A lot. We became best friends, we told each other everything. All our individual secrets became both of our secrets. We didn't get that sense of 'click' where we understood each other because we were young but growing up together meant we had similar likes and dislikes and that meant everyday was different. We would meet up at 6 o'clock near Kensington Gardens and we would talk about life, and how we'd like our future to be. The point at which we became closest friends, was when she realized that her parents weren't happy because occasional fights became frequent fights and she told me she was scared they'd get a divorce. That's when I realized she needed me more than I imagined. Our love for each other wasn't the love you'd have for your girlfriend or boyfriend at this time but a love of friendship. Four months after Lydia's 14th birthday, my mother helped her get into a modelling institute where, from what she told me she didn't feel comfortable doing. She would say that she felt like their property, so I helped her understand what she actually wanted to do. But everything was cut short a year later, when her mother had filed for divorce and Lydia was left in pieces. Her mother moved to New York where she had family which meant Lydia had to go too. It was awful, it felt like a piece of me was being teared off, and I felt lonely because the one person who was closest to me was gone. We kept in contact for about half a year, but then College got in the way and we stopped calling each other. The missing piece of me, Lydia, was a pain that I lived with for a while but then got used to, to the point where I didn't realize the pain. I sort of forgot about her, made a lot of new friends and relationships that I learnt a lot from. After two years I completed my A-Levels and enrolled for a degree in Law. My social life reached it's peak in university where I made several brilliant friends a few of which were similar to Lydia's.
By the time I was in my second year of university I knew where my place was, all aspects of my life had fallen into place which made me believe that my life was on a path that would inevitably would be followed. As my university course included a third year sandwich course, I had to look for a placement and being adventurous I applied abroad to several Law firms. After much searching, applications and interviews I got a placement with Greenberg Taurig, with the help of my father. After I told my mother, she was my reminder that Lydia had moved to New York. I completely forgot, I remember thinking that this could be it, our reuniting! I asked my mother if she had heard from any of them but she hadn't so I didn't know what approach to take. I rummaged through my drawers until I found her letters buried under old souvenirs. I found her address on the back of the envelopes. Could she still be there? I decided to take the letters with me. After several weeks, I started my internship. They had given me an apartment near to the firm which made it easy to get to and from work. The first two weeks of being there was a hassle which left me no time but to focus on work. The third week, things cooled down, I had moved in and was comfortable. I made a few friends with some interns and my neighbors were really nice people. I decided to try and find Lydia, I found the address and took a cab there. It was a tall building full of apartments. I got outside the door to where my old friend could be. I took a deep breath and knocked three times. I waited a while, and then heard footsteps coming towards the door, the butterflies in my stomach started beating my stomach but then died when a man opened the door.
After much chatter, I found out that he was her step-brother as her mother re-married. Lydia had moved out on her own and he said that he rarely hears from her. He gave me her address, and I was off. I took another cab to her address and that's when I had realized that it would probably be uncomfortable if I just appear out of no where. So, I decided to wait near her apartment in a bar to see if I could spot her. While sitting there, the bar got slightly busier as everyone was coming home from work. Only when I heard a mixture of a British accent with a slight drop of New York-ishness I turned around to see a woman standing next to the counter waiting for her drink. What gave me the confirmation that it was Lydia was the fact that she had a large metal 'L' key ring attached to her set of keys that I'd given her on her 15th birthday.
I stared at it just to make sure it was the one I'd given her. I improvised and decided to stand up and walk towards her. What do I say!? The only thing I could think of, was: 'Excuse me. Can you tell me where you got that L key ring from?' When she turned around my face lit up. It was her! Her hazel eyes glowed and her brown hair, bunned up. At first she didn't realize it was me, she picked up the key ring and looked at me with confusion as to whether I thought it was a good pick up line or just actual curiosity. She explained that an old friend gave it to her, and I just stood there and smiled. She looked back at me first, with again a confused expression which slowly turned serious and then a mixture of surprised and happiness. She jumped and hugged me and we just stood there holding each other for an age. We went for a long walk, just talking and talking about what things have been like. I stopped and apologized for not keeping in contact, but she understood and explained her side about why she couldn't either. That night, she took me back to her apartment, where we expressed feelings for each other that we'd never done before. That's was the moment where I found the pain I was in before that night. The piece of me that was taken away was finally a part of me again and I was ecstatic! We were different people, yet inside we still knew each other how we used to when we were young. The next few years of my life was nothing I had expected. I proposed to Lydia after one year of that day. We are now the happiest couple in New York. Then we were 21, and now we're 26 expecting a baby girl in a few months. The moral of this story, is that although you may feel there is a set path in life, you may never go down it..and that isn't a bad thing because the path that you do go down, could be 1000 times better.. :)

My mother told me to take their daughter to the play-room where we could be out of their way, so I did. We rambled on about everything as 10 year old's do. I learnt that her name was Lydia and that she was 10 and wanted to be a model. We became friends at their first visit, and after my parents became good friends with hers our meetings became more frequent. Our mothers would meet at least once a week for the first few months. But then came the point where their family moved much closer to ours, so Me and Lydia could meet whenever we wanted. And we did...
A lot. We became best friends, we told each other everything. All our individual secrets became both of our secrets. We didn't get that sense of 'click' where we understood each other because we were young but growing up together meant we had similar likes and dislikes and that meant everyday was different. We would meet up at 6 o'clock near Kensington Gardens and we would talk about life, and how we'd like our future to be. The point at which we became closest friends, was when she realized that her parents weren't happy because occasional fights became frequent fights and she told me she was scared they'd get a divorce. That's when I realized she needed me more than I imagined. Our love for each other wasn't the love you'd have for your girlfriend or boyfriend at this time but a love of friendship. Four months after Lydia's 14th birthday, my mother helped her get into a modelling institute where, from what she told me she didn't feel comfortable doing. She would say that she felt like their property, so I helped her understand what she actually wanted to do. But everything was cut short a year later, when her mother had filed for divorce and Lydia was left in pieces. Her mother moved to New York where she had family which meant Lydia had to go too. It was awful, it felt like a piece of me was being teared off, and I felt lonely because the one person who was closest to me was gone. We kept in contact for about half a year, but then College got in the way and we stopped calling each other. The missing piece of me, Lydia, was a pain that I lived with for a while but then got used to, to the point where I didn't realize the pain. I sort of forgot about her, made a lot of new friends and relationships that I learnt a lot from. After two years I completed my A-Levels and enrolled for a degree in Law. My social life reached it's peak in university where I made several brilliant friends a few of which were similar to Lydia's.
By the time I was in my second year of university I knew where my place was, all aspects of my life had fallen into place which made me believe that my life was on a path that would inevitably would be followed. As my university course included a third year sandwich course, I had to look for a placement and being adventurous I applied abroad to several Law firms. After much searching, applications and interviews I got a placement with Greenberg Taurig, with the help of my father. After I told my mother, she was my reminder that Lydia had moved to New York. I completely forgot, I remember thinking that this could be it, our reuniting! I asked my mother if she had heard from any of them but she hadn't so I didn't know what approach to take. I rummaged through my drawers until I found her letters buried under old souvenirs. I found her address on the back of the envelopes. Could she still be there? I decided to take the letters with me. After several weeks, I started my internship. They had given me an apartment near to the firm which made it easy to get to and from work. The first two weeks of being there was a hassle which left me no time but to focus on work. The third week, things cooled down, I had moved in and was comfortable. I made a few friends with some interns and my neighbors were really nice people. I decided to try and find Lydia, I found the address and took a cab there. It was a tall building full of apartments. I got outside the door to where my old friend could be. I took a deep breath and knocked three times. I waited a while, and then heard footsteps coming towards the door, the butterflies in my stomach started beating my stomach but then died when a man opened the door.
After much chatter, I found out that he was her step-brother as her mother re-married. Lydia had moved out on her own and he said that he rarely hears from her. He gave me her address, and I was off. I took another cab to her address and that's when I had realized that it would probably be uncomfortable if I just appear out of no where. So, I decided to wait near her apartment in a bar to see if I could spot her. While sitting there, the bar got slightly busier as everyone was coming home from work. Only when I heard a mixture of a British accent with a slight drop of New York-ishness I turned around to see a woman standing next to the counter waiting for her drink. What gave me the confirmation that it was Lydia was the fact that she had a large metal 'L' key ring attached to her set of keys that I'd given her on her 15th birthday.
I stared at it just to make sure it was the one I'd given her. I improvised and decided to stand up and walk towards her. What do I say!? The only thing I could think of, was: 'Excuse me. Can you tell me where you got that L key ring from?' When she turned around my face lit up. It was her! Her hazel eyes glowed and her brown hair, bunned up. At first she didn't realize it was me, she picked up the key ring and looked at me with confusion as to whether I thought it was a good pick up line or just actual curiosity. She explained that an old friend gave it to her, and I just stood there and smiled. She looked back at me first, with again a confused expression which slowly turned serious and then a mixture of surprised and happiness. She jumped and hugged me and we just stood there holding each other for an age. We went for a long walk, just talking and talking about what things have been like. I stopped and apologized for not keeping in contact, but she understood and explained her side about why she couldn't either. That night, she took me back to her apartment, where we expressed feelings for each other that we'd never done before. That's was the moment where I found the pain I was in before that night. The piece of me that was taken away was finally a part of me again and I was ecstatic! We were different people, yet inside we still knew each other how we used to when we were young. The next few years of my life was nothing I had expected. I proposed to Lydia after one year of that day. We are now the happiest couple in New York. Then we were 21, and now we're 26 expecting a baby girl in a few months. The moral of this story, is that although you may feel there is a set path in life, you may never go down it..and that isn't a bad thing because the path that you do go down, could be 1000 times better.. :)
Lost in Love
I didn't know that i was in love until my friends concluded that after their keen observations. They were right. I was in love and so i am till today. My story begun some 3 years ago. My two friends and i used to go for our private studies in another of our friend's home who happened to be my best friend till today. His sister just below him in their family is she whom i fell in love with without my knowledge for we could chat and she would be very happy no matter the situation she was in and so was i. I took time to look into the matter not knowing that the more i put my thoughts on her was the more i fell deep in love with her.
As friends with the issue of opening hearts to one another, i let his brother know it and he was positive about it for i know he understood me more than anyone after being more than friends for two years or so. She had never been in a relationship with anyone else not before not upto now. Though sometimes during all that time that i have been finding myself into relationships, i have never stop to thinking crazily about her.
You may ask, haven't you confessed to her? I have done it time to time but the response has been, 'no i can't satisfy you'.
I am not the kind of a guy who desires a woman for my bed. I told her. She went on to say that i should give her time to think the matter over. How much time? Till she is done with her studies. I got to her when she was on her first year of a 4 year study course.
All i desire to know is if that patience is worth it. Am ready to wait till she is mine but i greatly doubt it though she behaves to hold strong to her decisions.
Her best friend is in a relationship with one of my best friends. The policy she clings to is, 'boys will make you fail in your studies.' since she knew me, she had been adoring my academic achievements. I can't see her her not making and thus i have been helping her where i had been able to do it.in her home no one questions me on my visits for i also have been spending nights there and so has been his brother. Our families have been like one through our friendship and so i respect her on the other side and i can't dare make her suffer.
So by that, i returned her of her photos i had plus those that we took together and the reason was because i didn't want to think about her anymore. And i told her. I stopped calling he or repling to her texts.
But still with every moment i see her , i fall for her. She plays safe but when i don't say hi to her, she comes to say hi to me. She haven't confessed anything yet but signs can't hide from her actions. I am her joy, she always want to spend time with me at their home, she loves my jokes, she loves my attention,she loves my concern but she is never willing to say,' i love you too' which is all i want from her.
So i choose to ignore her for the better or for the ............ WORSE!

There was girl who loved a boy so much she said to the boy, "If I told you that I liked you, would you take it as a joke?"
The boy said, "Yes I would."
She asked, "Why?"
The boy replied, "Because I know you don't like me, I know you love me!"
The boy said, "Yes I would."
She asked, "Why?"
The boy replied, "Because I know you don't like me, I know you love me!"
Love Means Sacrifice
Love Means... (a girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on a motorcycle)
Girl: Slow down. I'm scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, it's too scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down! Guy: Now give me a big hug. (Girl hugs him)
Guy: Can you take my helmet off and put it on? It's bugging me.
In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on the motorcycle, but only one survived. The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him, felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so she would live even though it meant he would die.

A Love to Forget-anoymous
Soo.. when i was small well i mean like just grade 6 small. There was this one guy who liked me and he was a basketball/soccer player. Then he hit on me and asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes at that time and we dated for only a day. then i broke up with him because he was too talkative.. But then at secondary he asked me out again and i said yes. i really liked him at the time because he was so sweet but then.. i just knew it wasn't going to work out because he was very different person compared to him and i knew it wasn't the serious type of relationship i wanted. So i broke up with him because i wasn't feeling anything. But then he acted so sweet and i felt regret for breaking up with him. And he asked if he wanted to get back together and i said yes. But then the next couple of day's he was a totally different person than he was before. The sweet loving guy i knew was gone, he was now a very ignorant type of person even to me. it felt like i had to be so funny and happy all the time or i was going to loose him. But in the end he ignored me by just saying "hahahaha" in chats and never answering my questions. It was like dating a zombie. Then the next day he told his two bestfriends that he was too lazy to date anymore. And then they told me and i told them okay sure were over. Because he wasn't worth fighting for anyway.
I suggest you all to watch the movie called "The Vow" its very inspiring and it is the sweetest movie and most romantic movie that i ever watch, it make me cry of how sweet it is. :D Go and watch it!
There was a girl named Becca and a boy named Joe. Becca was in a burning house. None of the firefighters could get in the house because the fire was too big. Joe dressed in one of the fire suits and got into the house. When he got up the stairs, the steps fell off behind him. When he got into her room he sealed the door up behind him. He held her tight, kissed her, huged her, then said that he loved her. She asked what was wrong, and he said that he was going to die. Her eyes widened as she began to cry. He picked her up and jumped out of the four story house. He landed on his back with her on top of him. He died to save her life.
One night a guy and a girl were driving home from the movies. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night. The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed & that it was time to move on.A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket & passed her a folded note.
At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He swerved right into the drivers seat, killing the boy. Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she pulled it out & read it. "Without your love, I would die."

A girl asked a boy if she was pretty, he said "No". She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever, he said "No". Then she asked him if he would cry if she walked away, he said "No". She had heard enough; she needed to leave.As she walked away he grabbed her arm and told her to stay. He said "You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don`t want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die."
How Love Totally Change My Life
The thing about me is that I never knew the meaning of love until I felt it myself. I thought that love doesn't exist, but I didn't believe that since I started grade 5, because I saw my friends falling in love and having boyfriend. Although I knew it I didn't have that feeling I guess I haven't meet the right person to fall with. Then I saw my friend gets sad after they broke up and I think to myself that it must be very risky falling in love and I know because of that she got distracted which makes her scores go down. Since then I made a promise to myself that I won't fall in love with anyone until I'm in university, I promise to myself that I will always focus on my school. As time went by I reach grade seven a new beginning of a different level of learning. I moved to a new school and I experience a lot of different new things about love from different people and situations. I still didn't know much about love even though I had new friends who have been experiencing it. Then suddenly there's this one guy that tries to get close to me and I was like "omg who is this guy what is he doing ew". I was like rejecting him and the way he talks. All I want is to be friends with everyone even someone who's older than me like him. But suddenly something came rushing through me, I felt something weird to him, I was smiling at his text messages and whenever he haven't reply me, I kept looking for where he is and I did do a stupid thing that I never do which is stalking him. I was thinking to myself what am I doing, why am I stalking him, what for? I was confused at what I think and what I did. I share this to one of my best friend and she knew I won't fall in love until I'm old enough. I was surprised at what she say, she told me that this is what love is. I was super shock that it make me speechless. I didn't know what to do and I never knew anything about guys and relationship and all those things. She told me to tell him that I like him but I was too scared to do that and that kind of confession makes me very nervous. One day he confess to me and said that he liked me but when he said that I haven't yet like him. So now we are just going through normal days and I always felt this weird things since then but I'm just not able to express it and tell him what I feel. I was scared if I didn't tell him I might regret not doing it but I was just to shy, scared, and nervous knowing what he will reply. I was always smiling at his text until my mom called me crazy, at first she knew I was going through love but she didn't want to tell me until a few months laters when she tells me, it was pretty awkward hearing her talk about stuff about love but oh well it might be something I could learn from. Time passing by I finally realize and accept the truth that I am falling in love with this guy I never knew and I just suddenly met, I don't know how or what but I'm just glad we met. Every day my love to him gets stronger and stronger and I was like the happiest person that has ever existed. In class I always act crazy and I'm just super happy and I never had a day where I go sad well maybe once or twice but barely I get sad. I couldn't help it I kept on smiling and I never once stop smiling. Suddenly there's a time that I felt lost, I felt something's missing, and something's weird happened to him. He acts different and I didn't knew what, I wanted to ask but I was too scared and it is my fault for not asking but I just can't explain what I felt that time and how this person truly is. I've been stalking him ever since, asking question to my friends who have been in that school for a long time and I knew better from them what kind of person he is. I was confuse and scared, I'm scared that he might not like me back because I do really love him so much. I never cried for someone, but I did cried for him and since he changed I was happy then, now I was the saddest person that had ever lived. I couldn't describe what I felt, I just want to turn on the music and cry, that's all I want to do when I'm sad. I believe he wasn't that guy people talks about I believed that he's better, I guess its just because I didn't know him a lot before. I should've had never fall in love because I know what will happen and now I feel it, the feeling sucks a lot. What I felt was sad, angry, mad and all that negativity. I really miss him but there's nothing I can do, I can't force so I just let it be. If this is the way then nothing I can do about it. I ignored it since and it was Christmas, that Christmas was the worst Christmas ever, I thought I will be happy but not at all. I feel stress everyday of my life living, sadness and depressed. I lost contact with him and I have to live with it. Not able to know the condition of someone I really love is the worst thing ever. He was my first love how couldn't it hurt so much? I expect too much I guess and I hope too much and for everything to be perfect which is the stupidest thing I ever did. I just have to be careful with my heart. That's the story of my first love it was sweet at first but it gets bitter at the end. I just wished I could change things but it's too late. I just hope that everyone who reads this be brave and never be scared and always stands up for yourself and never always care about others too much or else you will be the one hurting the most. I hope that your love life would be great and never do anything stupid once you get sad. I'm just a normal girl who knows nothing about love and I suddenly feel it but I didn't think far or think twice about what will happen what's the risk of being in that situation.
