This One Has To Be Felt
( 10th Grade )
As I Sat There In English Class,
I Stared At the Girl Next To Me.
She Was My So Called 'Best Friend'.
I Stared At Her Long, Silky Hair,
And Wished She Was Mine.
But She Didn't Notice Me Like That,
And I Knew It.
After Class,
She Walked Up To Me And Asked Me For
The Notes She Had Missed The Day Before.
I Handed Them To Her.
She Said 'thanks'
And Gave Me A Kiss On The Cheek.
I Want To Tell Her, I Want Her To Know
That I Don't Want To Be Just Friends,
I Love Her But I'm Just Too Shy,
And I Don't Know Why.
( 11th Grade )
The Phone Rang. On The Other End,
It Was Her. She Was In Tears,
Mumbling On And On About How
Herlove Had Broke Her Heart.
She Asked Me To Come Over
Because She Didn't Want To Be Alone, So I Did.
As I Sat Next To
Her On The Sofa,
I Stared At Her Soft Eyes,
Wishing She Was Mine.
After 2 Hours, One Drew Barrymore Movie,
And Three Bags Of Chips,
She Decided To Go Home.
She Looked At Me, Said
'thanks' And Gave Me A Kiss
On The Cheek..
I Want To Tell Her,
I Want Her To Know That
I Don't Want To Be Just Friends,
I Love Her But I'm Just Too Shy,
And I Don't Know Why.
( Senior Year )
One Fine Day She Walked To My Locker.
"My Date Is Sick" She Said,
"Hes Not Gonna Go" Well,
I Didn't Have A Date, And In 7th Grade,
We Made A Promise That
If Neither Of Us Had Dates,
We Would Go Together Just As 'best Friends'.
So We Did.
That Night, After Everything Was Over,
I Was Standing At Her Front Door Step.
I Stared At Her As She Smiled At Me
And Stared At Me With Her Crystal Eyes.
Then She Said- "I Had The Best Time, Thanks!"
And Gave Me A Kiss On The Cheek.
I Want To Tell Her,
I Want Her To Know
That I Don't Want To Be Just Friends,
I Love Her But I'm Just Too Shy,
And I Don't Know Why.
( Graduation )
A Day Passed, Then A Week, Then A Month.
Before I Could Blink, It Was Graduation Day.
I Watched As Her Perfect Body
Floated Like An Angel
Up On Stage To Get Her Diploma.
I Wanted Her To Be Mine-But
She Didn't Notice Me Like That, And I Knew It.
Before Everyone Went Home,
She Came To Me In Her Smock And Hat,
And Cried As I Hugged Her.
Then She Lifted Her Head From My Shoulder
And Said- 'you're My Best Friend,
Thanks' And Gave Me A Kiss On The Cheek.
I Want To Tell Her,
I Want Her To Know
That I Don't Want To Be Just Friends,
I Love Her But I'm Just Too Shy,
And I Don't Know Why.
( Marriage )
Now I Sit In The Pews Of The Church.
That Girl Is Getting Married Now.
And Drive Off To Her New Life,
Married To Another Man.
I Wanted Her To Be Mine,
But She Didn't See Me Like That,
And I Knew It.
But Before She Drove Away,
She Came To Me And Said 'you Came !'.
She Said 'thanks' And Kissed Me On The Cheek.
I Want To Tell Her,
I Want Her To Know
That I Don't Want To Be Just Friends,
I Love Her But I'm Just Too Shy,
And I Don't Know Why.
( Death )
Years Passed, I Looked Down At The Coffin
Of A Girl Who Used To Be My 'best Friend'.
At The Service, They Read A Diary Entry
She Had Wrote In Her High School Years.
This Is What It Read:
"I Stare At Him Wishing He Was Mine;
But He Doesn't Notice Me Like That,
And I Know It.
I Want To Tell Him,
I Want Him To Know That
I Don't Want To Be Just Friends,
I Love Him But I'm Just Too Shy,
And I Don't Know Why.
I Wish He Would Tell Me He Loved Me !
.........'i Wish I Did Too...'
I Thought To My Self, And I Cried.
One Can Endure Sorrow Alone, But It Takes Two To Be Glad
Abraham Lincoln's letter to his son's teacher
He will have to learn, I know,
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that
for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish Politician,
there is a dedicated leader...
Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,
Steer him away from envy,
if you can,
teach him the secret of
quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that
the bullies are the easiest to lick...
Teach him, if you can,
the wonder of books...
But also give him quiet time
to ponder the eternal mystery of birds
in the sky,
bees in the sun,
and the flowers on a green hillside.
In the school teach him
it is far honourable to fail
than to cheat...
Teach him to have faith
in his own ideas,
even if everyone tells him
they are wrong...
Teach him to be gentle
with gentle people,
and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son
the strength not to follow the crowd
when everyone is getting on the band wagon...
Teach him to listen to all men...
but teach him also to filter
all he hears on a screen of truth,
and take only the good
that comes through.
Teach him if you can,
how to laugh when he is sad...
Teach him there is no shame in tears,
Teach him to scoff at cynics
and to beware of too much sweetness...
Teach him to sell his brawn
and brain to the highest bidders
but never to put a price-tag
on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears
to a howling mob
and to stand and fight
if he thinks he's right.
Treat him gently,
but do not cuddle him,
because only the test
of fire makes fine steel.
Let him have the courage
to be impatient...
let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always
to have sublime faith in himself,
because then he will have
sublime faith in mankind.
This is a big order,
but see what you can do...
He is such a fine fellow,my son!
Every time i see two lovers,
I want to break down and cry,
Because I miss you like crazy,
Baby, I cant even lie
Deppression is the stage of my life where i'm at,
Because I want to be by your side,
To just spend one night with you,
Baby, I'll do what I gotta do,
Because I got it bad,
Because I'm feeling sad,
Because I wanna be by your side
Now, i'm having bad feelings,
'Cause my wish has been denied,
I still dream of you,
I dont wanna wake up now,
If I wake up,
I hope its in your arms,
If I lived near you baby,
I'd give you the whole world,
and my love would always protect you from harm.

IF YOU FIND LOVE
If you find yourself in love with someone who does not
love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing
wrong with you. Love just didn't choose to rest in the
other person's heart.
If you find someone else in love with you and you don't
love her/him, feel honoured that love came and called at
your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot
return. Do not take advantage, do not cause pain.
How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and
all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if
our lives and ways are different.
If you fall in love with another, and she falls in love
with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to
reclaim it or to assess blame, Let it go. There is a
reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.
Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you.
All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery
when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you
to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.
This is where many lovers go wrong. Having been so long
without love, they understand love only as a need.
They see their hearts as empty places that will be
filled by love, and they begin to look at love as
something that flows to them rather than from them.
Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its
own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for
coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or
reason it into saying. You can only embrace it when it
arrives and give it away when it comes to you.
But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the
heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and
there is nothing you should do. Love always has been
and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.
Don't deny love just only you don't want to be hurt...
IF YOU KEEP YOUR HEART OPEN, IT WILL COME AGAIN
When i first met you, your name was all i knew,
But as we got to know each other,
Day dreaming is all i would do,
You are my king and i am your queen,
Or goin out, im not mad go do your thing,
Because i trust you, just one condition,
Dont break my heart,
Cause i dont lie when i say i'm true from the start,
I'm true to you, I'd never hurt or lie to you,
To keep you happy, there's nothing that i wont do,
Keep this in mind, that I love you just like my first love,
and I'm very glad to have you in my life.

Friendship vs. Love
- Compiled By Honey
Friendship is a quiet walk in the park with the one you trust
Love is when you feel like you are the only two around
Friendship is when they gaze into your eyes and you know they care
Love is when they gaze into your eyes and it warms your heart
Friendship is being close even when you are far apart
Love is when you can still feel their hand on your heart when they are not near
Friendship is hoping that they experience the very best
Love is when you bring them the very best
Friendship occupies your mind
Love occupies your soul
Friendship is knowing that you will always try to be there when inneed
Love is when you will give up everything to be at their side
Friendship is a warm smile in the winter
Love is a warming touch that sends a pulse through your heart
Love is a beautiful smile to which nothing compares
A tender laugh, which opens your heart
A single touch that melts away your fears
A smell that reminds you of the tenderness of heaven
A voice that reminds you of the innocence of youth
Friendship can survive without love; Love cannot live without friendship HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE
_________________________________________________
Walking down life's highway many years ago,
My feet all tired & sore
I came upon a sign that read,
"heaven's grocery store"
I got a little closer,
And the doors swung wide open
And before I realised,
I was standing inside.
I saw a host of angels
Who were standing everywhere
One handed me a basket & said
"My child, take this & shop with Care"
Everything a human needed
Was in that grocery store
And what you could not carry
You could always come back for more
First I got some patience,
Love was in the same row
Further down was understanding,
You need that everywhere you go.
Then I got a box or two of wisdom
And faith, too,a bag or two.
And charity? Of course, some
Of that I would need too.
I couldn't miss the holy Ghost
It was all over the place.
Then I collected a lot of strength,
And courage to help me run this race.
By now, my basket
Was getting full in all ways.
But then i remembered
That I needed Grace.
And then I chose Salvation, too
For salvation was for free
So I tried to get enough of that
To do for you & for me.
Then I started for the counter
To pay my grocery bill
For I thought I now had everything
To do the Master's will.
As I went up the aisle
I saw Prayer & put that in,
For I knew that when I stepped outside
I would surely run into sin.
Peace & Joy were plentiful,
The last things on the shelf.
Song & Praise were hanging near
So I just helped myself.
Then I said to the angel
" Now how much do I owe??"
she simply said
"Just take them wherever you go."
Again I asked"Really now, how much do I owe??"
Said she with a smile,"don't you know,
My child, God paid your bill
A long time ago !!!
