it says my heart out! very touchy!

very true!

You've no idea how hard I've looked
for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right.
What's the point of bringing gold
to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with
was like taking spices to the Orient.
It's no good giving my heart and my soul
because you already have these.
So- I've brought you a mirror.
Look at yourself and remember me.

I've Learned

by Omer B. Washington


"I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life
but who you have in your life that counts.

After that, you'd better know something.

and you must forgive them for that.

the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.

And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual
ahead of their actions.
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I've learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves go farther in life.
I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.

you will find the strength to help.

I've learned that writing,as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice
and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I've learned to love
and be loved.
I've learned...

I saw your face today, In the face of a stranger
But when I looked again, You were not there anymore

I heard your voice today, In the middle of a crowd
I turned around to listen, But did not hear a sound


I felt your touch today, In the blowing wind
I clung to that moment, Held it to its end

I cried over you today, Drowned in my own sorrow
Then I came to realize, How much i missed you.

I can't promise you the world
But I can try to give you a happy life
I can't promise you I'll never make mistakes
But I can try the best I can
I can't promise you that
I'll catch you every time you fall
But I can try to always be close by so
I can help you back up
I can't promise that our love
will last forever like in storybooks
But I can promise that no matter what
I'll never forget the memories I made with you

Just a thought of you brings me faster
to you than the autumn breeze that takes away
every whisper of your name; that''s
how I keep myself close to you
when distance tries to keep us apart
