Never say I love you
If you really don't care
Never talk about feelings
If they aren't really there
Never hold my hand
If you are going to break my heart
Never say you are going to
If you don't plan to start
Never look into my eyes
If all you do is lie
Never say hello
If you really mean goodbye
If you really mean forever
Then say you will try
Never say forever
Cause forever makes me cry

This is the SWEETEST thing I have EVER read! You just HAVE to read it and pass it on!
This poem is so sweet! Read and send to others!!!

"Written with a pen
sealed with a kiss
if you love me,
please answer me this :
Do you love me,
or do you not?
you told me once but I forgot,
so tell me now and tell me true,
so I can tell you... 'I love you'
Of all the girls I've ever met,
you are the one I won't forget.
And if I die before you do,
I'll go to heaven and wait for you.
If you are not there on judgement day,
I'll know you went the other way,
I'll give the angels back their wings,
and risk the loss of everything,
just to prove my love is true,
I'll go to hell to be with you."

If this comes back to you then you'll have a friend for life, but if this becomes deleted, you are not a friend.
Send this to everyone you consider a friend!!

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with U$86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would you do?
Think carefully and give your best answer then see below...

Draw out every cent, of course!!!

Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special.

The origin of this letter is unknown, but it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on. Do not keep this letter. Treasure every moment that you have!
And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.

Remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.

Today is a gift... That's why it's called the present!

Friends are very rare jewels, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their heart to us.

This is written by an African :

Dear white fella
Coupla things you should know
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I cold, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black.

You white fella
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you green
When you sick, you yellow
And when you die, you grey.
And you have the cheek to call me coloured?

A FRIEND IS SOMEONE YOU ARE...

F... free to be yourself with, just the way you are.
R... ready to tell your most private thoughts to.
I... inspired by when you are feeling down.
E... eager to listen to as well as talk to.
N... never going to forget no matter what.
D... dependent on for advice and support.

God knew that there would be some times we'd need a helping hand.
Someone to share our pain with and they would understand.
He knew we'd have some rough times when we'd seem to lose our way.
We'd need someone to help us out and tell us.... it's ok.
Of course there'd be some good times too, with victories to relate.
We'd want someone to tell them to and have them say.... that's great.
He knew whatever came our way, the joys and sorrows too.
We'd need some one to laugh or cry with.
so He made dear friends like you.
He gives them to us when we least expect them.
But usually at a time when we most need them!
Sometimes, we don't know how or why we met our friend but, God had a very special reason in mind!
All we know is that we are very glad He did!

Let that special someone know that you are glad to be able to call him or her friend.

MANY OF US do not realize what we believe when we look in the mirror. Many of us do not see our own image but someone else's image that we feel we must please, thinking it might be of value. But there is no value or glory playing second fiddle to someone else. You cannot live your life with someone else's image. It means self-destruction; you become your worst enemy.

You are your worst enemy when you want to be perfect. You become fearful of making a mistake, so you don't assert yourself; therefore you cannot achieve happiness in life. You cannot gain friendship that way or in any negative way where you symbolically walk around on your knees trying to get attention by trying to please everybody.

Friendship begins with you; you can't be a friend to others unless you are a friend to yourself. What is equally important is that you can't be a friend to everybody. We all see things differently. That is the way it should be; and because of that, it is inevitable that we will make enemies with people who violently disagree with us. If we firmly and honestly feel that our cause is right, we should not be afraid of making enemies but should try to maintain harmony.

There is an old Chinese proverb that says, "Just as tall trees are known by their shadows, so are good men known by their enemies." By far you are your worst enemy either when through fear and indecision you live to please someone else, or when you refuse to live at all because you are fearful of making a mistake.

LIFE'S under no obligation to give us what we expect.

          MARGARET MITCHELL
          Novelist

We've all used the phrase, one of these days.

One of these days we're going write a book.
One of these days we're going to act on that great idea.
One of these days we're going to look up that old friend.

It's a familiar phrase, but invariably, one of these days means none of these days.

We're talking about a malady called procrastination. It's a sickness that's the same all over the world.

We keep telling ourselves that we're going to do something and instead of doing it we spend a lot of time thinking about reasons why we can't.

We wait for conditions to be ideal. We have to catch up on all our regular work. The decks have to be cleared for action.

We put off starting a task because it's difficult. Take writing, for instance. It's not easy to fill a blank page with good writing. The late, great sports writer, Red Smith, said, "You just put a blank piece of paper in the typewriter and stare at it until drops of blood appear on your forehead."

If we do make a start at something, we decide the task is too big or too time-consuming.

We convince ourselves that time is not important. We can push back our deadline without creating any problems. There's always tomorrow.

The ironic thing about all this is that the amount of energy we use to dodge a job is sometimes greater than the energy required to complete it. As we continue to procrastinate, a sense of guilt is created and it hangs like a cloud overhead, taking the joy out of our everyday tasks.

One way to get off this merry-go-round that's going nowhere is to sit down and make two lists. On one side of a piece of paper, list all the reasons why you are procrastinating about a particular task. Then on the other side list the benefits that could be gained by getting the task done.

You'll find that your reasons for postponing action are weak and that the list of benefits is longer and stronger. The effect can be dramatic. You'll get off this slow-motion merry-go-round you've been on and strike out in a direction that will bring you the benefits you've listed. Even if you only spend five minutes the first day taking that first step toward getting the task done and achieving your benefits, do it. Begin. Otherwise, you'll spend the first half of your life postponing things and the second half regretting that you did.

In front of the person you like you get happy.
But in front of the person you love your heart beats faster.

In front of the person you like winter is just beautiful winter.
But in front of the person you love winter seems like spring.

If you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.
But if you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush.

In front of the person you like you can say everything on your mind.
But in front of the person you love you can't.

In front of the person you like you can show your own self.
But in front of the person you love you tend to get shy.

You can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.
But you can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love.

When the one you like is crying you lend support and comfort.
But when the one you love is crying you cry with them.

The feeling of like starts from the ear.
But the feeling of love starts from the eye.

So if you stop liking a person you used to like, all you need to do is cover your ears.
But if you try to close your eyes, love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever after.

There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel. For fear of embarrassing the other person, or ourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words, "I love you". So we try to communicate the idea in other words. We say 'take care' or 'don't drive too fast' or 'be good'. But really, these are just other ways of saying 'I love you', 'you are important to me', 'I care what happens to you', 'I don't want you to get hurt'. We are sometimes very strange people.

The only thing we want to say, and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don't say. And yet, because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. And many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted. Therefore, we have to LISTEN FOR LOVE in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often, the manner of saying things is even more important. A joyous insult carries more affection and love within the sentiments which are expressed insincerely. An impulsive hug says I LOVE YOU even though the words might be saying very different.

Any expression of a person's concern for another says 'I love you'. Sometimes the expression is clumsy, sometimes even cruel. Sometimes we must look and listen very intently for the love that contains. But it is often there, beneath the surface. A mother may nag her son constantly about his grades or cleaning his room. The son may hear only the nagging, but if he listens carefully, he will hear the love underneath the nagging. His mother wants him to do well, to be successful. Her concern and love for her son unfortunately emerge in her nagging. But it is love all the same.

A daughter comes home late, way past her curfew, and her father confronts her with angry words. The daughter may hear only the anger, but if she listens carefully, she will hear the love under the anger. "I was worried about you," the father is saying. 'Because I care about you and I love you. You are important to me'. We say 'I love you' in many ways - with birthday gifts, and little notes, with smiles and sometimes with tears. Sometimes we show our love by just keeping quiet and not saying a word, at other times by speaking out, even brusquely. We show our love sometimes by impulsiveness. Many times we have to show our love by forgiving someone who has not listened to the love we have tried to express. The problem is listening for love is that we don't always understand the language of love which the other person is using. A girl may use tears or emotions to say what she wants to say, and her boyfriend may not understand her because he expects her to be talking his language.

Thus, we have to force ourselves to really listen for love. The problem with our world is that people rarely listen to each other. They hear the words, but they don't listen to the actions that accompany the words or the expression on the face. Or people listen only for rejection or misunderstanding. They do not see the love that is there just beneath the surface, even if the words are angry. We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realize.

Listen for love and we will find that the world is a very loving place, after all.
LOVE is a happy thing.
It makes us laugh.
It makes us sing.
It makes us sad.
It makes us cry.
It makes us seek the reason why.
It makes us take.
It makes us give.
Above all else it makes us LIVE.

It is not the presence or absence of people that makes the difference because a person need not be lonely even if he is alone. Sometimes it is good to be alone. But that does not make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present WITH someone. It is a matter of being present TO someone.

So remember...

If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets. Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today and are what it's all about anyway.

Pass this along to your friends. Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.
The difference between expressing love and having regrets is that the regrets may stay around.

You're...

My friend,

My companion,
Through good times and bad
My friend,
My buddy,
Through happy and sad,
Beside me you stand,
Beside me you walk,
You're there to listen,
You're there to talk,
With happiness,
With smiles,
With pain and tears,
I know you'll be there,
throughout the years!
You are all good friends to me and I am grateful to you.

Send this to all your good friends online to show them you are friends.

A friend is always faithful to you, even during the bad times.

A friend is reliable... you can count on one to always be there.

A friend stays in touch, even though it may not be as often as you'd like.

A true friendship is enduring, lasting even when friends lose touch for a while.

A friend is always there for you when you need someone.

A friend is devoted to your friendship and will never do anything to destroy it.

A friend is YOU!

Make new friends,
but keep the old.
New friends are exciting,
but old is Gold.

True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare.
False friends are life autumn leaves, found everywhere!

Never say I love you...
If you don't really care.

Never talk of feelings...
If they aren't really there.

Never hold my hand...
If you mean to break my heart.

Never say forever...
If you ever plan to part.

Never look into my eyes...
If you are telling me a lie.

Never say hello...
If you think you'll say goodbye.

Never say that I'm THE one...
If you dream of more than me.

Never lock up my heart...
If you don't have the key.

Money can buy a house, but not a home.
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.
Money can buy a clock, but not time.
Money can buy a book, but not knowledge.
Money can buy food, but not an appetite.
Money can buy position, but not respect.
Money can buy blood, but not life.
Money can buy medicine, but not health.
Money can buy sex, but not love.
Money can buy insurance, but not safety.

You see, money can't really buy anything that people really need.

Therefore, please send all of your money to me immediately, and I will dispose of it properly.

Right from our childhood we keep convincing ourselves that life would be better in the next stage. We expect that life would bebetter when we have a remarkable career and start earning comfortably.

We convince ourselves that life will be better perhaps after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough, and we'll be content when they are.

After that, we are frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with; we will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when the spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we acquire a big bungalow, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now!!!

If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway...

There is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way!!! So treasure every moment that you have, and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special... special enough to spend your time with... and remember that time waits for no one.

So stop waiting :

until you finish school,
until you go back to school,
until you lose 10 Kgs,
until you gain 10 Kgs,
until you have kids,
until your kids leave the house,
until you start work,
until you retire,
until you get married,
until you get divorced,
until Friday night,
until Sunday morning,
until you get a new car or house,
until your car or your house is paid off,
until spring, until summer,
until fall, until winter,
until your song comes on,
until you've sobered up,
until you die,
until you are born again,
to decide that there is no better time than RIGHT NOW to be happy.

Now is no time to think of what you DO NOT have.
Think of what you can do with what is there with you...
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. And remember...

Today is the best day of your life.
This week is the best week of your life.
This month is the best month of your life.
This year is the best year of your life.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when?
You can only decide on how you're going to live.

Now...

a HeArTwArMeR :

Did is word of achievement,
Won't is a word of retreat,
Might is a word of bereavement,
Can't is a word of defeat,
Ought is a word of duty,
Try is a word each hour,
Will is a word of beauty,
Can is a word of power.

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you!

Pass this on to anyone you care about... if you get it back you have found your true friends!

A ball is a circle, No beginning, no end.
It keeps us together, Like our Circle of Friends,
But the treasure inside for you to see is the Treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

Today I pass the friendship ball to you.
You must keep the friendship ball rolling... never still.
Pass it to your friend that is not simple but real...

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes a lot of your time.

What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus?

I think the cycle is all backwards. You should die first. Get it out of the way. Then live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young. You get a gold watch. You go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol. You party. You get ready for high school. You go to grade school. You become a kid. You play. You have no responsibilities. You become a little baby. You go back into the womb. You spend your last nine months floating... you finish off as an orgasm.

It's national care week... and you get to send messages to all your friends telling them that you care about them and make 'em feel good about themselves and if they write back... (just once) than that means that they care about you too...
BUT, you have to send it right now!!!
Send it to everyone you care and if they send it back... that means they care too...

By the way, have a nice day, and glad we are friends!!!

* If you're afraid to love a person because of friendship, you have 2 choices, either tell what you feel and let the love take place of forever or hide the feeling under a friendship full of pretensions.

* Sometimes I've asked myself, what would make me happy? To think that I have everything else, I get what I want... then I realized it was YOU, too bad 'coz it's you I can't have...

* Love can never be so beautiful without friendship... one leads to another and the process is irreversible... the best of lovers are the greatest of friends!

* Love doesn't have to have a happy ending, 'coz love doesn't have to end at all.

* A man realized he wanted his love back not wanting to be hurt again.
  The girl said "No".
  The man cried out to God, "If it was meant to be, why did I lose her?"
  God replied, "You didn't lose her... you let her go!"

* When you love someone, don't expect that person to love you back the same amount. One of you will be ahead, the other behind. It's either you catch up or the other waits.

* WHAT IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THIS : "Don't believe in courtship. It's just a waste of time, if I love a person, I'll tell her right away, but for you I'll make an exception... just love me now, and I'll court you forever!"

* Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot, it may give you aches and pains, but if you don't follow your heart, in the end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.

* I'm sorry if you can't love me the way you loved the one before me, so I'll let you go to find him/her and hope someday you'll see that the one true love you're looking for was the one who set you free...

* Ain't it funny we're trying to catch the attention of the one we think we love, we hardly notice the one we're really looking for was just there. You don't notice them 'till they are in the arms of someone else...

* Love is like standing on wet cement, the longer you stay the harder it is to leave... and you can never go without leaving your prints behind...

* THINK OF THIS : Have you really cared for someone more than you expect? Have you ever tried to love him/her inspite of all the pain? Will you keep on loving him/her as he/she whispers someone else's name? Will you???

* True love hears what is not spoken, and understands what is not explained, for love doesn't work in the mouth, nor the mind, but in the heart...

* When you love, you must not accept anything in return, for if you do, you're not loving but investing. If you love, you must prepare to accept pain, for if you expect happiness, you're not loving but using...

* I like you because you're my friend, and because you are my friend I care, and because I care, I love you. I don't love you because you are my friend, I love you because I do!

* FOOD FOR THE THOUGHT : It's better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than lose that someone you love with your useless pride.

* I can't choose who I'm gonna love, but I also can't just love who chooses to love me... and you can't blame me in choosing to love you as much as I can't blame you for not learning to love me.

* "How can I say goodbye to someone I never had? Why do tears fall for someone who was never mine? Why is that I miss someone I was never with and I ask why I love someone who's love was never mine?"

* It's hard for two people to love each other when they live in two different worlds... but when these two worlds collide and become one, that's what you call... MAGIC!

* Don't love a person like a flower, cause a flower dies in season. Love them like a river cause a river flows forever...

* "Love may leave your heart like shattered glass, but keep in mind that there's someone who'll be willing to endure the pain of picking up the pieces so you could be whole again."

* The most cruel thing a guy could do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall!

Wounds might heal but scars remain,
And it'll never be the same again,
Old is gold and always better than the new,
And we can't spell S CCESS without U

Here are some valuable lines
Some cool ways of proposing
Never know. May work!!

1. I wish I was one of your tears, so I could be born in your eye, run down your cheek, and die on your lips.
2. Did you know they changed the alphabet? They put U and I together.
3. Are your legs tired? 'cause you been running through my mind ALL day long.
4. Are you lost? 'cause it's so strange to see an angel so far from heaven.
5. Do you believe in love at first sight, or do I have to walk by you again?
6. What's that in your eye? Oh... it's a sparkle.
7. Do you have a map? I just got lost in your eyes.
8. You can forget about going to heaven because it's sin to look that good.
9. If I had eleven roses and you, I'd have a dozen.
