Friends

"Met you as a stranger
Took you as a friend
Hope we meet in Heaven
Where friendship never ends"

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

Favorite Song

Am getting sentimental .... doing nothing here at the office so just listening to my favorite songs and playing luxor .....am on my stage 11 going to finish this stage this week i promise to myself hehehe

So am listening to this music by Rupert Holmes Touch And GO
(here are the lyrics )

TOUCH AND GO

Rupert Holmes

Nobody said that

Life is always fair

Sometimes it clips your wings

While you're in mid-air

But there's a thread

Between your life and mine

And when you're losin' hope

This rope won't unwind

REFRAIN:

Hold on tight

'Cause life is touch and go

It's sink and swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call

To break your fall

I'll never leave you

Even when life

Is touch and go

Or hit and run

We'll never break

If we take it as one

I'm here to stay,

I pray you know

I'll never touch

I'll never touch and go

Someday you'll find

There's nothin' in the night

That wasn't there before

You turned out the light

Straight from your mind

The monster 'neath your bed

The voices in the hall

They're all in your head

REFRAIN:

Hold on tight

'Cause life is touch and go

It's sink and swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call

To break your fall

I'll never leave you

Even when life

Is touch and go

Or hit and run

We'll never break

If we take it as one

I'm here to stay,

I pray you know

I'll never touch

I'll never touch and go

When you feel lost

You're only spun around

Tumbled and tossed

But never run around 

Life is a town full Of strangers at best

I'll help you home

God help the rest

REFRAIN:

Hold on tight' Cause life is

touch and go

It's sink and swim

But never doubt

If you're out on a limb

I'll get the call

To break your fall

I'll never leave you

Even when life

Is touch and go

Or hit and run

We'll never break

If we take it as one

I'm here to stay,I pray you know

I'll never touch

I'll never touch and go

 Life is touch and go

It's sink or swim

But never doubt

f you're out on a limb

I'll get the call...

This is a nice read about love

Received this on my email

Loving Someone from a distance....

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the person we love we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to been slaved by our own selfish concerns.

Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words for you will find rewarding happiness not with the man you love but the man who loves you more. The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within your being.

To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that keep in your heart.

Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let you grow with wisdom in bearing it. You may found peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow.

We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today. There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves.

You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speaks for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow: If you lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in love. Cry, if you have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you.

Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it
does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.
