1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more painful is to never have the courage to let that person know how you feel. 2. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. 3. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. 4. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go. 5. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. 6. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. 7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. 8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes.If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too. 9. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless. 10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. 11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Tell Me... I need you desperately. I only feel complete when we're together, but I need you to tell me how much you love me. Make me believe it's true. Give my heart a reason to remain dedicated to you. Maybe what you feel for me is much greater than three little words, but I want to hear you say them. Don't hold back; speak the words I long to hear Every day, I pray that you've given me your heart, not just a little bit... but all the way. And I don't want to be the last to know how much you care about me. Just let your emotions go, and tell me what you feel for me, because I love you, and I want the beauty that bloomed between us to grow.
