Dear______ .

Pay a pittance to this foolish ______.

The sun may rise.

The sun may set.

Every Heartbeat. . .

You not only ______ me to touch the sky, but to reach beyond it- -to cast away my chains and ______. Nothing seems impossible when you’re ______ me, and that’s the way it will always be.

Love,

______

Every time I think about you and I

I break down and cry

When I look into your eyes I know you’re the one for me

But how can I not know that you’re also the one who’s going to hurt me

I’ve shed many tears for you before
And I’m wondering if you’re ever going to shed just a tear for me or even more


Every time I think about you and I

I just feel like a part of me wants to die

When I feel like I want to break down, and cry, on and on

I would just hope that you would give me a shoulder to cry on

When people say bad things about me
You were there to support me


Every time I think about you and I

My happiness disappears and tears roll down from my eyes

I remember how perfect our love was before

And every time I think about it, I’ll just miss it more and more

When I feel cold

I thought you’d be there to hold

When my mind was confused as I was in fear
I thought you’d be there to make it clear


Every time I think about you and I

I wish you were here to make my tears dry

Each day I feel like I’ve lost you

I need you to be the real you

For you to love me and comfort me

But I’ll never feel that inside of me

I never meant it to be this way
But goodbye is all I actually wanted to say

All the stars in heaven. . . Dear______ . All the stars in heaven tremble with fear, afraid that they pale in comparison to your ______ beauty. Your essence is powerful enough to bathe the ______ in loving, while light dispelling the ______ and making all wrongs seem right. Please ______ your precious gift of love on me. You’ve commanded my ______ and now my soul. To My dear friend Oh my love, where do I begin? And what have I to remember you by? Neither a letter nor a picture. Nothing but memories kept within my heart. Memories locked away for only you to open. Waiting…Longing…Hoping, that one day you will return and unlock our sacred moments, so we can share them once again. But as I wait, I watch the sun set into the horizon, and my heart sinks with it. And as I feel the touch of the moonlit night, I hope that, tomorrow with the rising of the sun, I am one day closer to being with you again. I live day to day thinking of only you. I picture in my mind everything about you, as if you were really here beside me. The way you looked into my eyes, I cry myself to sleep wishing I still had you. Oh my dear friend, please come back to me. Come and cure the pain I am feeling. Bring light to the darkness of my world. If my message ever reaches you, I would like you to remember that I love you.

داستان شیر و موش

The Lion and the Mouse

Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon wakened the Lion, who placed his huge paw upon him, and opened his big jaws to swallow him. ‘Pardon, O King,’ cried the little Mouse: ‘forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?’ The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King, tied him to a tree while they went in search of a wagon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad plight in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon gnawed away the ropes that bound the King of the Beasts. ‘Was I not right?’ said the little Mouse.

Little friends may prove great friends.
