Friendship


Value friendship for what there is in it, 
not for what can be gotten out of it.”

Titanic


Every night in my dreams 
I see you. I feel you. 
That is how I know you go on. 


Far across the distance 
And spaces between us 
You have come to show you go on. 


Near, far, wherever you are 
I believe that the heart does go on 
Once more you open the door 
And you're here in my heart 
And my heart will go on and on 


Love can touch us one time 
And last for a lifetime 
And never go till we're one 


Love was when I loved you 
One true time I hold to 
In my life we'll always go on 


Near, far, wherever you are 
I believe that the heart does go on 
Once more you open the door 
And you're here in my heart 
And my heart will go on and on 


There is some love that will not 
go away 


You're here, there's nothing I fear, 
And I know that my heart will go on 
We'll stay forever this way 
You are safe in my heart 
And my heart will go on and on

Love

1. Lives are for living I live for you Dreams are for dreaming I dream for you Hearts are for beating mine beats for you Angels are for keeping. Can I keep you?

2. You are like the sunshine so warm, you are like sugar, so sweet... you are like you... and that's the reason why I love you!

3. You must be a good runner because you are always running in my mind, you must be a good thief because you have stolen my heart, and i am always a bad shooter because I Miss You Always...

4. If I had a penny for every time I thought of you, I'd still miss you, but at least I would be rich enough to come and see you..!!

5. If I die and go to heaven, I'll put your name on a golden star. So that all the angels can see, how much you mean to me.

6. I miss you so, here around me, so many people, but yet so alone. I miss your lips, your lovely smile, I miss you each day more and more!

7. Love is hard and will always be, but remember somebody loves you and that one is ME !

8. I wanted to send you all my love but the postman said it was too big !

9. If you live to be a hundred , I want to be a hundred minus one day , so I don't have to live a day without you.

10. There are a lot of birds whispering only about you, you should once listen to them, then you would know how much I love you.

11. When the night comes, look at the sky. If you see a falling star, don't wonder why, just make a wish. Trust me, it will come true, 'cause I did it and I found you!

12. I hope that you finally understand, that I will love you until the end, because your not just my girl, you are also my best friend!

13. Kiss me and you will see stars ....Love me and I will give them to you.

14. My love, words however special ... could never even start, to tell you all the love I have for you within my heart!

15. The day that I'll die, when death replaces birth, I'll recognize angels' faces, 'cues I live with one on earth.  16. Loving you could take my life, but when I look into your eyes, I know you're worth that sacrifice!

17. If you were a tear I would never dare to cry. I might lose you!

18. If your heart was a prison, I would like to be sentenced for life.

19. If a big fat man creeps into your bedroom one night and stuffs you into a bag, Then do not worry 'cause I told Santa I wanted you for christmas!

20. If you are mad at me, you might just as well give me all my kisses back!

21. One day you will ask me: What is more important to you, me or your life? I will say: my life? You will walk away from me without knowing that YOU ARE MY LIFE!

22. I have seen angels in the sky, I have seen snowfall in July, I have seen things u only imagine to see, But I haven't seen anything sweeter than you.

23. True love is hard to find. Special 1-1 of a kind. But the love inside of me is true. It appeared the day I met you!

24. I believe that God above created you for me to love. He picked you out from all the rest cause He knew i'd love you the best!

25. If I died or went somewhere far, I'd write your name on every star so everyone could look up and see you mean the world to me.

26. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.

27. Who cares whether this is a poem or rhyme, I will love you until the end of time.

28. Last night I looked up at the stars and matched each one with a reason why I love you I was doing great, but then I ran out of stars.

29. If you live for 100 more days, then I want to live for 100 more days minus one so that I'd never have to live without you.

30. They say you only fall in love once, it can't be true. Every time I look at you, I fall in love all over again.

31. I get the best feeling in the world when you say hi or even smile at me because I know, even if its just for a second, that I've crossed your mind.

32. Loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will.

33. If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, just know that you are in my heart. You'll be in there forever!

34. Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?

35. You can fall from the sky, you can fall from a tree, but the best way to fall is in love with me.

36. If I had a rose for every time I thought about you Id be walking in a garden forever.

37. I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name on my hand but I washed it the next day. I wrote your name on a paper but I accidentally threw it away. I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay.

38. If I can only be with you in my dreams then I'll sleep for ever.

39. Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for. So wait for me, I'll be right back.

40. Why is it that I have to climb 1000 mountains to get to you and all you have to do is smile to get to me?

41. If I got a penny every time I thought of you I'd be a millionaire by tomorrow.

42. If you stood in front of a mirror and held up a dozen roses you would see the 13 most beautiful things in the world.

43. A day without you is like a day without light because you light up my life.

44. Is it true? Can it be? Are you the only one for me?

45. Tonight I ask the stars above. How I'll ever win your love. What do I do.What do I say. To turn your angel eyes my way?

46. The shortest word for me is "I"The sweetest word for me is "love"The only word for me is "you!"

47. The way you look into my eyes, It scares me The way you say "I love you", It scares me The way you know just what to say, It scares me The ways you scare me, I love it

48. Good days come often, Bad days do too, But the best days only come when I'm with you.

49. You tripped me, so I fell for you.

50. I will love you until my heart stops beating.

51. If nothing lasts forever, will you be my nothing?

52. I wish I was your blanket, I wish I was your bed, I wish I was your pillow underneath your head, I want to be around you, I want to hold you tight, and be the lucky person who kisses you goodnight.

53. Each time I miss you a star falls from the sky, So if you look up at the night sky and find it dark with no stars, its all your fault, you made me miss you too much.

54. Words alone will never be able to express the depth of my love for you.In case you didn't know, I'll be loving you always and forever!

55. Let these words not only touch your eyes, let them travel through your soul, and let them rest in your heart as you rest in mine?I love you.

56. Falling in love with you was the easiest thing I've done in my life.

57. Hand in hand and heart to heart my love for you shall never part.

58. Loving you makes my heart explode with happiness.

59. Rains fall, winds blow, the sun shines... it all comes naturally, just like loving you.

60. Bf seeing with you is like having every single one of my wishes come true.

61. Loving you has been the best thing to ever happen to me!

62. Just had to let you know... you're the best! I love you!\

63. You are the sun in my day, the wind in my sky, the waves in my ocean, and the beat in my heart.

64. I wish I was there to hold you tight instead of just send this loving, "Good Night."

65. Thank you for being the one who calms all my inner fears.

66. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, you prove me wrong! I love you!

67. I LOVE YOU 2-DAY LOVE YOU 2-MORROWPUT IT TOGETHER LOVE YOU 4-EVER

68. How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.Love you dear.

69. I'm not the same since i met u, the days turned longer the nights turned colder and u will always have a special place in my heart just for you. I LOVE YOU

70. Without your LOVE, days are "Saddy, Monday,Tearsday, Waste day  Thirstday, Frightday, Shatter day".

71. Words however special... could never even start, to tell you all the love I have for you within my heart. 
xxx

72. I feel something in my heart, it's like a little flame, every time I see you, this flame lights up, this flame is special for you, because I LOVE YOU!....

73. It must have been a rainy day when you were born, but it wasn't really rain, the sky was crying because it lost its most beautiful angel...!

74. Sometimes words are hard to find, to form that perfect line to let you know you're always on my mind!

80. By following my heart I came to you, I only forgot to take something back with me. For my thoughts are still with you.

81. Roses of red grow in my heart and they will never wither... 'Cause they bloom every time I see your smile, hear your voice or just think of you!

82. You know what, in the whole world there is no such darling whom I love and I want the whole world to know that I will never forget you!

83. You are always in my heart, here and everywhere, There is no one in the whole world that makes me feel this way.

84. They learned me that one hours equals 60 minutes and that one minute equals 60 seconds, but they never told me that one second without you can last for ever!

Words of Friendship
True Friends
There are many people
that we meet in our lives
but only a very few
will make a lasting impression
on our minds and hearts
It is these people that we will
think of often
and who will always remain
important to us
as true friends

~ Susan Polis Schutz ~
Poem used with permission of Blue Mountain Arts
Some Friends Are Forever
Sometimes in life,
you find a special friend:
someone who changes your life
by being a part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't stop;
someone who makes you believe
that there really is
good in the world.
Someone who convinces you
that there is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open it.
This is forever friendship...

When you're down,
and the world seems dark and empty,
your forever friends lifts you up in spirit
and make that dark and empty world
suddenly seem bright and full.
Your forever friend gets you through
the hard times, the sad times,
and the confused times.
If you turn and walk across,
your forever friend follows.
If you lose your way,
your forever friend holds your hand
and tells you that
everything is going to be okay.
And if you find such a friend,
you will feel happy and complete,
because you need not worry.
You have a forever friend for life,
and forever has no end.
~ Laurieann Kelly ~
You are my friend and I hope you know that's true.
No matter what happens I will stand by you.
I'll be there for you whenever you need.
To lend you a hand to do a good deed.
So just call on me when you need me my friend.
I will always be there even to the end.

S L O W D A N C E
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Do you run through each day on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?

When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
Heaven On-Line
There's a land where I go when I need to share
that's not on a map, yet exists everywhere
A land of names without faces, a curious place
A modern creation that's called cyberspace.
There's all creation of people with cute little names
Like Pookie, and Sandman and Rosebud and Flames.
Some are just snobs and some are real fun.
And some of them just want to find someone.
But both good and bad they all play a role.
Still each one unique, but part of the whole.
We talk and laugh and wonder why.
We flirt and hug and sometimes cry.
We can't be heard and can't be seen.
Yet, there it is, right on our screen.
But all in all the most curious part
Is the power it has to open our heart.
To share with a stranger those things we've concealed
Which to our closest of friends we'd never reveal.
Our deepest regrets and most troubling fears
The scars in our life which bring us to tears.
What gives them the power to reach into me
and show me the truths that I never see.
How do they manage to open my eyes
And make me confess the deceit and the lies.
I don't understand this magical spell,
But I know that without it my life would be hell.
This must have been planned by the Creator up above,
Cause there's no place on earth where you'll find as much love.
When I need direction I know I can find
those angels from heaven just waiting online.

"Around The Corner"-By Henson Towne
Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell,
And he rang mine.

We were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him"
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And
distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!-yet miles away,

"Here's a telegram sir--"
"Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

A Hug
There´s something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug´s a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you ´cause you´re you.

Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care.
From your grandma to your neighbour,
or a cuddly teadybear.

A hug is an amazing thing -
It´s just the perfect way
To show the love we´re feeling
But can´t find words to say.

It´s funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It´s always understood.

And hugs don´t need new equipment,
special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

My Cherished Friend
The stars in heaven shine so bright,
but did you know you were my light?
You helped me grow, you set me free,
you always saw the best in me.
And did you know when days were sad,
you always cared, my heart was glad.
My thoughts of you are always sweet,
and you have made my life complete.
You are my blanket from the storm,
your kind embrace will keep me warm.
No matter where our lives may go,
there is one thing that you should know.
That I will cherish my whole life through,
the heartfelt days I've spent with you.

Did Anyone Ever Tell You?- Written by Carole Creswell -
1999
Did Anyone Ever Tell You,
Just How Special You Are
The Light that You Emit
Might even Light a Star

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
How Important You Make Others Feel
Somebody out here is Smiling
About Love that is so Real

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
Many Times, When They were Sad
Your E-mail made Them Smile a bit
In Fact It made Them Glad

For the Time You Spend Sending Things
And Sharing whatever You Find
There are No Words to Thank You
But Somebody, ~ Thinks You're Fine

Did Anyone Ever Tell You
Just How Much They Love You
Well, My Dearest " Online " Friend
Today I am Telling You
 
God sends us many blessings
from the heavens up above,
He gives us peace and gladness
and the dear ones that we love.

He cheers us with the shinning sun
and He makes the flowers grow
He gives us beautiful rainbows
and the special faith they show.

He gives the gift of friendship
while He teaches us to share
And He blesses us with special friends
so we can show how much we care.

Love

                                             Love


called falling in love, because you don't force
yourself to fall, you just fall.
* * * * * * * * *







Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.
* * * * * * * * *

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone, and an day to love someone...
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
* * * * * * * * *



It breaks your heart to see the one you love is happy
with someone else, but it's more painful to know that
the one you love is unhappy with you.

If love is the answer,
can you please repeat the question?
* * * * * * * * *

Faith makes all things possible.
Love makes them easy.
I believe that to truly Love, is the ultimate
expression of the will to live. A heart that
truly loves is forever young.
* * * * * * * * *



Love makes life so confusing, but without love
would you really want to live?
* * * * * * * * *



Three things of life that are most valuable -
Love, self-confidence & friends.
* * * * * * * * *
Who do you turn to when the only person
in the world that can stop you from crying,
is exactly the one making you cry?

സൗഹ്രദം....


                                                        സൗഹ്രദം....

ഒക്കെപ്പോഴെങ്കിലും എനിക്ക് നിന്നെയോ നിന്‍‌റ്റെ സൗഹ്രദമോ നഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്നു
എന്നു തോന്നിയാല്‍ ഒരിക്കലും ഞാന്‍ നിന്നെ ഞാന്‍ എന്‍‌റ്റെ സ്വപ്നങ്ങളില്‍
തേടുകയില്ല, ഒരിക്കലും നിന്‍‌റ്റെ സ്വരം കേള്‍ക്കാനായ് ഞാന്‍
കാത്തിരിക്കില്ല, ഒരിക്കലും നിന്‍‌റ്റെ സ്ക്രാപ്പുകള്‍ക്കോ നിന്‍‌റ്റെ
സന്ദേശ്ശങ്ങള്‍ക്കോ വേണ്ടി ഞാന്‍ കാത്തിരിക്കില്ല. പകരം എന്‍‌റ്റെ കൈയ്
ഞാന്‍ എന്‍‌റ്റെ ഹ്രദയത്തോട് ചേര്‍ത്തു വയ്ക്കും... അവിടെ എനിക്ക് നിന്നെ,
നിന്‍‌റ്റെ സൗഹ്രദത്തെ കാണാന്‍ കഴിയും, അവിടെ എനിക്കു നിന്‍‌റ്റെ സ്വരം
കേള്‍ക്കാന്‍ കഴിയും, അവിടെ എനിക്ക് നിന്‍‌റ്റെ സ്ക്രാപ്പുകളൂം
സന്ദേശ്ശങ്ങളും വായിക്കാന്‍ കഴിയും....... അങ്ങനെ എനിക്കു
തോന്നിയില്ലെങ്കില്‍, അത് എനിക്ക് അനുഭവിക്കാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞില്ലെങ്കില്‍ പിന്നെ
എന്‍‌റ്റെ സൗഹ്രദത്തിന്‌ എന്തര്‍ത്ഥം.... ഒരു യഥാര്‍ത്ത സൗഹ്രദത്തിന്‌ അതു
കഴിയും അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ കഴിയണം സുഹ്രത്തേ...... അതല്ലേ യഥാര്‍ത്ത സൗഹ്രദം....
