「由始至終　只有你一位　難以代替　愛得多仔細」- 李敏

Goodnight, my love
Sleep well, my dear
I knew you, long before you were here.
If I drift out to sea
Don't look for me
I'm on the Island of Misfit Dreams
As lonely as that seems...
When you take it out and you breathe it in
And you give it all till your air is thin
And you find your heart hiding in the sink
And you look around and you look away
And you beg for mercy and cry and pray
And you take in all the mess that you made...
Oh just leave me alone here...till I don't need to be saved
You twinkle just like a star
But I know who you are
And if you bough does break
Oh the beauty in your mistake
Giving it all, giving it all, giving it all away
For free...

It's tears from laughter, it's tears from sadness and it's nothing like any storybook you've ever read.

When you’ve HAD IT.

Which makes you laugh 🤭

梅艷芳-【女人心】-sad

看著眼前人漸散　而在那喧嘩過後
只有忽然倦透的　是我的一對手
努力向前誰沒有　誰料歇息的藉口
是要把抑鬱眼淚再流
誰自願獨立於天地　痛了也讓人看
你我卻須要　在人前被仰望
連造夢亦未敢想像　我會這樣硬朗
但是又怎可　使你或我失望
看著眼前人睡了　和幸福多接近
等了多年這角色　做你的女人
我沒有權來令你　承受太多的情感
但我始終不過是個人
但我始終不過是個人

Who is wise? He who learns from everyone. - Jewish Proverb

李宗盛梁靜茹當愛已成往事 , 明明白白我的心

如果妳願意請讓我靠近我想妳會明白我的心哦~

i miss you so much
that i can not breathe
i feel like running to you
telling you now how much i love you
oh..for you

i am ready to forget even my name
just to stay in your arms
even for seconds only

i am ready to forget even my name
as long as you love me
with the same sincerity
i am willing to do anything for you

May We Cherish A Love That is Raw, Gritty, and Real "Look at who is around you. You may well find that you are in fact surrounded by love, but a love that is in a different guise than romantic love. It may well be that you are not loveless, but quite loved. Look around you and find the sentient beings that give you love and receive your love, be it an old friend, a parent, a child, a pet." yes , I am grateful, thank you! “So let us love. Let us hang on to what propels us beyond our own ego, and dedicates us to the care of another. Let us recognize this love as tenderness inwardly, and justice out in public.” “It matters not whom you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love. It matters only that you love.”

When people were killed by cars, we didn’t say it was a bad driving problem, we agreed as a society that it was a car problem. When babies were born mutated because of dangerous medicine, we didn’t call it a fertility problem, we called it a certain prescription drug problem. When AIDS began to take lives, we didn’t call it a lust problem, we called it an unprotected sex problem. Yet as guns kill innocent people, including kids in school, our society says the problem is bad people, not guns. I am saddened and ashamed of my fellow man. - Jeff. M

恭喜發財, Gong Hei Fat Choi!

You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart. Someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy. Someone who should have taken the chance to be with you years ago instead of becoming scared and being too afraid to try. - Cecelia Ahern

I hope you will choose to love yourself more than you ever have done. I hope you will choose to honor the genius of your body and take care of it like you would do a most beautiful flower in your garden. Be your own valentine today, despite whether you have someone to spend it with. Your hearts needs your love before it needs anyone's else. Your own pure and timeless love is what your deserve. And every other beautiful thing too. And once you do love yourself you will only attract the finest love into your life. But you won't feel dependent and needy for it, because you'll finally realize you need no one to complete you. You're perfect as you are. - S.C. Lourie

It is safe and comfortable for me to love and be loved.

It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself. - Joyce Maynard

8 Ways to Have a Better Relationship in 2018
"Love is an activity, not a passive affect; it is a "standing in", not a "falling for".
