The key to happiness is always looking down the path of goodness. -Teresa S. Livi<br /> Don&#039;t Cry Over Someone That Won&#039;t Cry Over You<br /> <br /> No Guy Is Worth Your Tears &amp; When You Find The One That Is He Won&#039;t Make You Cry<br /> <br /> If You Really Love Something Set It Free.<br /> If It Comes Back It&#039;s Yours, If Not It Wasn&#039;t Meant To Be<br /> <br /> Some Day You&#039;ll Cry For Me Like I Cried For You, <br /> Some Day You&#039;ll Miss Me Like I Missed You, <br /> Some Day You&#039;ll Need Me Like I Needed You, <br /> Some Day You&#039;ll Love Me But I Won&#039;t Love You<br /> <br /> Time will make you forget me but time will make me love you more than before.<br /> <br /> If I never met you, I wouldn&#039;t like you. If I didn&#039;t like you I wouldn&#039;t love you. <br /> If I didn&#039;t love you I wouldn&#039;t miss you, but I did, I do and I will.<br /> <br /> My heart longs for you, my soul dies for you, <br /> my eyes cry for you, my empty arms reach out for you.<br /> <br /> Forget who hurt you yesterday, <br /> But don&#039;t forget who loves you tenderly today.<br /> <br /> Love can make you happy but often times it hurts,<br /> but love is only special when you give it to who its worth.<br /> <br /> Boyfriends come and go, but friends are forever.<br /> <br /> The hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let go, <br /> and knowing when to say goodbye.<br /> <br /> No pleassure, no expressions just an illusion of what should of but wasnt.<br /> <br /> I hate you for not letting me have you.<br /> <br /> Forget the times he walked by, Forget the times he made you cry, <br /> Forget the times he spoke your name, Remember now your not the same. <br /> Forget the times he held your hand, Forget the sweet things if you can,<br /> Forget the times &amp; Don&#039;t pretend, Remember now he&#039;s just your friend.<br /> <br /> The day you finally decide to love me will be the day <br /> after the day I have given up on chasing you<br /> <br /> <br /> I hate to see the one I love happy with somebody <br /> but I surely hate it more to see the one I love unhappy with me...<br /> <br /> I had a dream and it was about you ... <br /> I smiled and recalled the memories we had ... <br /> then I noticed a tear fell from my eyes ... you know why? <br /> Coz in my dream you kissed me and said goodbye ...
