Favorite Quote:
“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

Here I live
In an endless garden.
Each thought of you
Gets its own flower.
I never stop thinking of you,
So here I live,
In an endless garden.
~~~
However, there you sit
In a garden with no flowers.
Do you think of me often?
I don’t think so.
You never did.

The author's comments:
This came from anger, actually. Somebody I knew for years just started to ignore me. They turned their back and totally ignored me. I was broken, shattered and hurt for a few moments, but then i was somewhat angry. This is a result.

I'll bet you do, :)

Oh, well. Just as easily as they come, they go.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
