When You Came

When You Came into My Life,You Just Changed it.My life Was Desert Once,You Came and Changed It into a Season...

Why You Came in my life if You Just wanted to Go Away ?

Why You Forced Me To See All Those Dreams..?

I Cry and Cry When I Miss Y0u & NoBoDy Knows That Even :(

Found myself today

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
To this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me 

Every time

Every time i remember your smiling face,
it puts me in a daze.

a daze of remembering what used to be,
remembering when i gave you the key.

the key to my heart,
so that we'll never be apart.

Apart from each other,
saying there will never be another.

Another love as great as ours,
love greater than the number of stars.

The stars in the sky,
i watch and wonder why.

why you left,
every time you came around you took my breath.

Breath of my heart and soul,
wishing i could share with you everything i know.

Everthing i know about myself,
but when my heart reached for yours it failed.

It failed horribly crashing to the ground,
not hearing a sound.

The sound of your heart beating next to mine,
knowing that i am not fine.

Not fine with you being gone,
not knowing where i went wrong.

Where i went wrong and lost you,
when you never said you loved me too.

Loved me to the ends of the earth,
and all the pain your going to get i am worth .

This fear I have.

This fear I have.
This pain I have.

This feeling of terrible hate
Looming over me.

This animosity tormenting me
Devouring my very soul.
Wanting to take over.

It whispers in my ear
Filling me with dread.
Clutching my shoulders
Pushing me over the edge.

This Shadow was born
In Darkness
It lives in Darkness.

This Shadow I fear.
This Shadow is Me

I dreamed I was missing

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know


When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know


When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest


Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are


When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

When you try

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And i will try to fix u

High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn

Do you dream,

I am nothing,that's the way I like others to know me. 1 more thing I am really very talkative...nd moody...that bothers me...Really!!!

Do you dream,

That the world will know your name
So tell me your name
(Tell me your name, tell me your name)

And do you care,

About all the little things
Or anything at all?
(Anything at all, anything at all)

I wanna feel,
All the chemicals inside
I wanna feel
(I wanna feel, I wanna feel)
I wanna sunburn,

Just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
(To know I'm alive, to know I'm alive)

Don't tell me if I'm dying,
Cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun,
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming,
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know,
Never leaves too soon

And do you believe,

In the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe?
(Do you believe do you believe)

And do you know,

That everyday's the first
Of the rest

Of

Your life

Don't tell me if I'm dying,
Cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun,
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming,
Of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know,
Never leaves too soon
. . . . . . . . . . . .
This is to one last day in the shadows

And to know a brother's love

This is to New York City angels

And the rivers of our blood

This is to all of us,

To all of us

So don't tell me if I'm dying,
Cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun,
Maybe I should go

Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming,

Of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know,
Never leaves too soon

You can tell me all your thoughts,
About the stars that fill polluted skies

And show me where you run to,
When no one's left to take your side

But don't tell me where the road ends,
Cause I just don't wanna know,

No I don't wanna know

Don't tell me if I'm dying

Don't tell me if I'm dying

I'm holding on your rope

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But that's nothing new, yeah yeah


I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Send this to all u r best friends even me if I am 1 of them. c how many

Solitude

Solitude have I to endure,
seemingly held with disclosure.
A fellow left astray,
as yet from yesterday.

Flashing your dainty, disarming smile,
warms my heart every once in a while.
Our longtime kinship
will always bloom with friendship.

It has never been so profound,
a lifetime friend have I found.
Let our friendship be a bond,
which can never be like a dry pond.

Let us not forget the dreams we share,
forever like brothers we care.
You'll always be a friend to me,
and that's the way it should be.

One song can spark a moment

One song can spark a moment ♥
One flower can wake the dream ♥

A friend

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.

with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

Don't go for looks;

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.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

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.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way

When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone
around you is crying.

Always reward

Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success

parents

If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out

Some of the biggest

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. - Anthony Robbins

Just because

Just because you know someone doesn't mean you love them, and just because you don't know people doesn't mean you can't love them. You can fall in love with a complete stranger in a heartbeat, if God planned that route for you. So open your heart to strangers more often. You never know when God will throw that pass at you

When you are together

When you are together with that special someone, you pretend to ignore
that person. But when that special someone is not around, you might look around to find them. At that moment, you are in Love.


Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh,
your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone.
Then, you are in love.


Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back,
to let you know of their safe arrival, your phone is quiet.
You are desperately waiting for the call!
At that moment, you are in love.


If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from
that special someone than other many long e-mails,
you are in love.

When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the
emails or SMS messages in your phone because of one message
from that special someone, you are in love.

When you get a couple of free movie tickets, you would
not hesitate to think of that special someone.
Then, you are in love.

So, Why Worry?

Why Worry?

There are only two things in life to worry about:

Whether you are well
or whether you are sick.



If you are well,

then there is nothing to worry aboutBut if you are sick,

there are only two things to worry about:



Whether you are going to get well

or whether you are going to dieIf you get well,

then there is nothing to worry about

But if you die,

there are only two things to worry about:

Whether you are going to go to heaven
or whether you are going to go to hell.



If you go to heaven,

then you have nothing to worry about

But if you go to hell,

you'll be so busy shaking hands with all your friends,

that you won't have time to worry!



So, Why Worry?

You're A Great Friend

You're A Great Friend
That Is True
I'll Never Leave Your Side
I'll Always Be Here For You

When You Need Someone
You Can Count On
Remember Me
Cause I Won't be Gone

When You Cry
Or When You Fall
When Your Down
Give Me A Call

I'm Here For You
I Wont Be Gone
One Friend To Another
On Me You Can Count On

Tryst with destiny...

Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long supressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.
At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and her trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?
Freedom and power bring responsibility. The responsibility rests upon this Assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. Before the birth of freedom we have endured all the pains of labour and our hearts are heavy with the memory of this sorrow. Some of those pains continue even now. Nevertheless, the past is over and its is the future that beckons to us now.
That future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfill the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over.
And so we have to labour and work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world, for all the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this One World that can no longer be split into isolated fragments.
To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an apppeal to join us with faith and confidence in this great adventure. This is no time for petty and destructive cirticism, no time for ill-will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where we all her children may dwell.
(Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in the mid-night session of the Constituent Assembly on 14th-15th August,1947,New Delhi)

STOPPING BY THE WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His hourse is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Lost in the light of the moon

Lost in the light of the moon,
That comes through my window.

Bathed in blue,
The walls of my memory divides,
The thorns from the roses.
It's you and the roses.


Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way
When I see your eyes,
Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.

Here I am,
Lost in the ashes of time,
But who wants tomorrow,
In between,
Longing to hold you again,
I'm caught in your shadow.
I'm losing control.

My mind drifts away,
We only have today.


Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way,
I will sacrifice,
'Til the blinding day,
When I see your eyes.

Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.
When the veils are gone,
As I let you go,
As I let you go.


Touch me and I will follow,
In your afterglow.
Heal me from all this sorrow,
As I let you go.
I will find my way
I will sacrifice,
Now I'm living,
In your afterglow.

Bathed in blue,
The walls of my memory divides,
The thorns from the roses.
It's you who is closest.

Why do I Still Love You ?..

Why do I Still Love You ?..
Why do I cry..
who do I hide..
why do I still care..
why do I pretend your there..

why do I love you..
why do I think you love me to..
why do I feel pain..
why do I feel like I m insane..

why do I want you so bad..
why do I get mad..
why do I miss you..
why do I need you..

I try to tell you how I feel..
but you don't care..
so I'm askin you these questions..
to see if you know im there!..

I am a dreamer of dreams

I am a dreamer of dreams. Always smiling as i want my life to bounce from one chapter to another with nothing but happiness. its not that i always sail smoothly but tell me one thing if u dont have pain in ur life, how will u enjoy ur moments of joy. Phee...ew that's quite a statement. what say???...? and moreover a smile can move the hardest of heart and beside i suppose it helps to train ur facial muscles. dont think that i am a fitness freak. the idea is for those who need a reason to smile.

I am a true sagittarian and therefore definitely not the type who would say guess wat i am thinking and guess this and guess that, in short i am very straight forward.

i seldom do regret as i take life the way it comes.i believe there is always something to learn from the mistakes.

Out of the night

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winched nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond the place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;

I am not above you

I am not above you,
I am beyond you;
You do not understand me,
and you may well fear me;
But you will call upon me to fight the war you cannot.
I am your worst nightmare
and your best hope;
I am the edge of the Sword
that cuts both ways.
I am the world you cannot attain;
The perpetuation and annihilation of all that you hold dear.
I am the embodiment of all that you admire and despise;
I am honor and tradition,
amoral and profane.
I am the highest rung
on the ladder of your evolution,
and I am the living symbol
of your degeneration.
I am the God of War.
My armor is titanium
and no armor at all;
My voice is the thunder
on the edge of sound;
My movements are swift
and beyond your comprehension.
My touch is cold;
My love destruction.
My life is measured
by a sweep-second hand.
And I do not fear oblivion,




oh

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.

oh

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.

I am? I was?

If i could be in front of the mirror,
i will ask to him again and again the same old question i used to ask... What i am?
 
But in all this time i never listen an answer...
so in order to help the interlocutor i will try to explain the most things i used to feel
 
I am that one... the one than when u met her... feel a confidence
as we knowed each other from thousand years before
Im the one so easy to met and so hard to understand
the one to easy to be with... so hard to resist
im the one that use to stay at the same place u found her..
imthe one that in ur leaving will wish u good luck
and the one that will keep u always in her prays
im the one who will keep ur pain and your story in her secret side of heart
im the one who can give tears about you each time she reminds your being
im the one who shared her time for smiles and laugh
and the one that sometimescan make u sign a smile while u remind her
im the memory of a far moment
im the memory of the instant of doubt
im the memory of a could
but im the one that cant be choosed
im the never selected
im that one... the one... im that way... in fact
i dont know yet... what i am?

somebody

There's somebody who can help me?

Somebody who can give me a recipe to stop feeling pain inside the heart,

to stop feeling im just a bad joke from God,

Somebody who have a recipe to make my smile back,

Somebody who can give me a medicine to stop my tears cause i cant control them...

 

Do you?

 

Please!

Loneliness

Loneliness

Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person.

Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people...

Sadness

Sadness is always the legacy of the past; regrets are pains of the memory”

Out of the night that covers me,

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul
