3ust $hree 'ords . . .
There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships. 0ften the most effective thing you can do involves saying *ust three words. When spo en sincerely) these statements often have the power to develop new friendships) deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that have soured. The following three(word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

4. !et me help :ood friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being as ed) they *ump in and help out. 5. I understand you. People become closer and en*oy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. %etting your spouse now ( in so many little ways ( that you understand them) is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. ,nd this can apply to any relationship. 6. I respect you ?espect is another way of showing love. ?espect demonstrates that another person is a true e7ual. If you tal to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This applies to all interpersonal relationships. 7. I miss you. Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other -I miss you.- This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted) needed) desired and loved. 4onsider how important you would feel) if you received an une/pected phone call from your spouse in the middle of your wor day) *ust to say -I miss you.8. Maybe you&re right. This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication when you say -maybe you"re right- is the humility of admitting) -maybe I"m wrong-. %et"s face it. When you have an argument with someone) all you normally do is solidify the other person"s point of view.

Saying -maybe you"re right- can open the door to e/plore the sub*ect more. 3ou may then have the opportunity to e/press your view in a way that is understandable to the other person. 9. Please forgive me 2any bro en relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mista es and as for forgiveness. ,ll of us are vulnerable to faults) foibles and failures. , man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong) which is saying) in other words) that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. :. I than% you. :ratitude is an e/7uisite form of courtesy. People who en*oy the companionship of good) close friends are those who don"t ta e daily courtesies for granted. They are 7uic to than their friends for their many e/pressions of indness. 0n the other hand) people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude. ;. Count on me , friend is one who wal s in when others wal out. %oyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true

friends. When troubles come) a good friend is there indicating -you can count on me.<. I&ll be there If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night) to ta e a sic child to hospital) or when your car has bro en down some miles from home) you will now how good it feels to hear the phrase -I"ll be there.Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give.

Three years of courtship and now) two years into marriage) I would have to admit) that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness. I am a sentimental woman and e/tremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings) I yearn for the romantic moments) li e a little girl yearning for candy. 2y husband) is my complete opposite) his lac of sensitivity) and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love. 0ne day) I finally decided to tell him my decision) that I wanted a divorce. -Why!- he as ed) shoc ed. -I am tired) there are no reasons for everything in the world5- I answered. &e ept silent the whole night) seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times. 2y feeling of disappointment only increased) here was a man who can"t even e/press his predicament) what else can I hope from him! ,nd finally he as ed me>- What can I do to change your mind!- Somebody said it right) it"s hard to change a person"s personality) and I guess) I have started losing faith in him. %oo ing deep into his eyes I slowly answered> -&ere is the 7uestion) if you can answer and convince my heart) I will change my mind) %et"s say) I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff) and we both are sure that pic ing the flower will cause your death) will you do it for me!-

I continued reading..... 4. When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs) and you cry in front of the screen) I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs. 5. 3ou always leave the house home to open the door for you. eys behind) thus I have to save my legs to rush

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her voice. %istening to her parents" comfort) but with nothing coming out from her) she bro e down. @uring the stay in hospital) besides silent cry.. it"s still *ust silent cry that accompanied her. 6pon reaching home) everything seems to be the same. '/cept for the ringing tone of the phone which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does not wish to let the guy now # not wanting to be a burden to him) she wrote a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer. With that) she sent the ring bac to him. In return) the guy sent millions # millions of reply and countless phone calls.. ,ll the gal could do besides crying is still crying.... The parents decided to move away) hoping that she could eventually forget everything # be happy. With a new environment) the gal learnt sign language # started a new life.

Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. 0ne day) her friend came # told her that he"s bac . She as ed her friend not to let him now what happened to her. Since then) there wasn"t anymore news of him. , year has passed # her friend came with an envelope) containing an invitation card for the guy"s wedding. The gal was shattered.

While ta ing care of his wound) we began to engage in conversation. I as ed him if he had a doctor"s appointment this morning) as he was in such a hurry.

I was sitting on a beach one summer day) watching two children) playing in the sand. They were hard at wor building an elaborate sandcastle by the water"s edge) with gates and towers and moats and internal passages. +ust when they had nearly finished their pro*ect) a big wave came along and noc ed it down) reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I e/pected the children to burst into tears) devastated by what had happened to all their hard wor . But they surprised me.. Instead) they ran up the shore away from the water) laughing and holding hands) and sat down to build another castle. I reali1ed that they had taught me an important lesson. ,ll the things in our lives) all the complicated structures we spend so much time and energy creating) are built on sand. 0nly our relationships to other people endure. Sooner or later) the wave will come along and noc down what we have wor ed so hard to build up. When that happens) only the person who has somebody"s hand to hold will be able to laugh . . .

There are times when we are timid and shy about e/pressing the love we feel. 8or fear of embarrassing the other person) or ourselves) we hesitate to say the actual words "I love you.." So we try to communicate the idea in other words. We say "Ta e care" or "@on"t drive too fast" or "Be good". But really) these are *ust other ways of saying I love you. 3ou are important to me. We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say) and the one thing that we should say) is the one thing we don"t say. ,nd yet because the feeling is so real) and the need to say it is so strong) we are driven to use other words and the meaning never gets communicated at all so the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted. Therefore) we have to listen for love in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the e/plicit words are necessary) but more often) the manner of saying things is even more important. , *oyous insult carries more affection and love within the sentiments which are e/pressed insincerely. ,n impulsive hug says "I love you" even though the words might be saying very different. The problem is listening for love is that we don"t always understand the language of love which the other person is using. , girl may use tears or emotions to say what she wants to say) and her boyfriend may not understand her because he e/pects her to be tal ing his language. We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realise.. %isten for %ove and you will find that the world is a very loving place . .

It is a mystery why we fall in %ove. Its is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is mystery why some love fails. 3ou can analy1e this mystery and loo for reasons and causes) but you will never do anymore than ta e the life out of the e/perience. +ust as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body) love is more than the sum of the interest and attractions and commonalties that two people share. ,nd *ust as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its own time) so too) the coming of love must be ta en as an unfathomable gift that cannot be 7uestioned in its way. Sometimes) hopefully at least once in your life the gift of love will come to you in full flower) and you will ta e hold of it and celebrate it in all ine/pressible 5 beauty. This is the dream we all share. 2ore often) it will come and ta e hold of you) celebrate you for a brief moment) then move on. When this happens to young people) they to often try to grasp the love and

hold it to them) refusing to see that it is a gift that is freely given and a gift that *ust as freely) moves away. When they fall out of love) or the person they love feels the spirit of love leaving) they try desperately to reclaim the love that is lost rather accepting the gift for what it was) then moving on. They want answer where there are no answers. They want to now what is wrong in them that ma es the other person to no longer love them) or they try to get their lover to change) thin ing that if some small things were different) love would bloom again. They blame their circumstances and say that if they go far away start a new life together) their love will grow. They try anything to give meaning to what has happened. But there is no meaning beyond the love itself5 If) and until they accept its own mysterious was= they live in sea of misery. 3ou need to now this about love) and to accept it. 3ou need to treat what it brings you with indness. If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you) be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. %ove *ust didn"t choose to rest in the persons heart. If you find someone else in love with you and you don"t love him) feel honored that love came and called at your door) but gently refuse the gift you cannot return. @o not cause pain. &ow you deal with love is how you deal with you) and all our hearts feel the same pains and *oys) even if our lives and ways are different. If you fall in love with another) and he falls in love with you) and then love chooses to leave) do not try to reclaim it or to asses blame. %et it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. 3ou will now in time. ?emember that you don"t choose love. %ove chooses you. ,ll you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes in to your life. 8eel the way it fills you to overflowing) then reach out and give it away. :ive it bac to the person who brought it alive in you. :ive it to others who deem it poor in spirit. :ive to the world around you in anyway you can. There is where many lovers go wrong. &aving been so long without love) they understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love) and they begin to loo at love as something that flows to them rather than from them. The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing) but as their love cools) they revert to seeing their love as a need. They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who see s love is that it is a gift) and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away. ?emember this) and eep it to your heart. %ove has its own time) its own seasons) and its own reason for coming and going. 3ou cannot bribe it 5 or coerce it) or reason it into staying. 3ou can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart of your lover) there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do. %ove always has been and always will be a mystery. Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life. If you eep your heart open it will come again . . .

I li ed her innocence) her fran ness) her intelligence and her fragility. ?eason for not going after her was that I felt somebody so ordinary li e her was not a good match for me. I was also afraid that after we were together all the feelings would vanish. I was also afraid other"s gossip would hurt her. I felt that if she were my girl) she"d be mine ultimately # I didn"t have to give up everything *ust for her. The last reason) made her accompanying me for A years. She watched me chase other girls) and I have made her heart cry for A years. She was a good actor) and me a demanding director. When I issed my second girlfriend) she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smiled # said) -:o on5- before running off. The ne/t day) her eyes were swollen li e a walnut. I did not want to now what caused her to cry. %ater that day) I returned from soccer training to get something # watched her cry in the classroom for an hour or so. 2y fourth girlfriend did not li e her. There was once when both of them 7uarreled. I now that based on her character she is not the type that will start the 7uarrel. &owever) I still sided my girlfriend. I shouted at her # ignored her feelings and wal ed off with my girlfriend. The ne/t day) she was laughing # *o ing with me li e nothing happened. I now she was hurt but she did not now deep down inside I was hurt too. When I bro e up with my fifth girlfriend) I as ed her out. %ater that day) I told her I had something to tell her. I told her about my brea up. 4oincidentally) she has something to tell me too) about her getting together.. I new who the person was. &is pursuit for her had been the tal of the School. I did not show her my heartache) *ust smiles # best wishes. 0nce I reached home) I could not breathe. Tears rolled # I bro e down. &ow many times have I seen her cry for the man who did not ac nowledge her presence! @uring graduation) I read a S2S in my mobile. It said) -%eaf"s departure is because of Wind"s pursuit. 0r because Tree didn"t as her to stay-

!eaf.. People call me !eaf.. @uring the A years of Pre(6) I was on very close terms with a guy as buddy ind. &owever) when he had his first girlfriend) I learnt a feeling I never should have learnt ( +ealousy. Sourness to the e/treme limit. They were only together for 9 months. When they bro e up) I hide my happiness. But after a month) he got together with another girl.

I li ed him # I now he li ed me. But why won"t he pursue me! Since he loves me why he didn"t he ma e the first move! Whenever he had a new girlfriend) my heart would hurt. ,fter some time) I began to suspect that this was one(sided love. If he didn"t li e me) why did he treat me so well! It"s beyond what you will normally do for a friend. I now his li es) his habits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out. 3ou can"t e/pect me a girl) to as him. @espite that) I still wanted to be by his side. 4are for him) accompany him) and love him. &oping that one day) he will come to love me. Because of this) I waited for him. Sometimes) I wondered if I should continue waiting. The pain) the dilemma accompanied me for A years. ,t the end of my Ard year) a *unior pursues me. 'veryday he pursues me. &e"s li e the cool # gentle wind) trying to blow off a leaf from a tree. In the end) I reali1ed that I wanted to give this wind a small footing in my heart. I now the wind will bring the leaf to a better land. 8inally) leaf left the tree) but the tree only smiled # didn"t as me to stay. %eaf"s departure is because of Wind"s pursuit. 0r cause Tree didn"t as her to stay..

'ind.. People call me 'ind.. Because I li e a girl called leaf. Because she"s so dependent on tree) so I have to be a gust wind. , wind that will blow her away. When I first met her) it was H month after I was transferred to this new school. I saw a petite person loo ing at my seniors # me playing soccer. @uring '4, time) she will always be sitting there. Be it alone or with her friends) loo ing at him. When he tal s with girls) there"s *ealousy in her eyes. When he loo ed at her) there"s a smile in her eyes. %oo ing at her became my habit. +ust li e) she li es to loo at him. 0ne day) she didn"t appear. I felt something missing. I can"t e/plain the feeling e/cept it"s a ind of uneasiness. The senior was also not there as well. I went to their classroom) hid outside and saw my senior scolding her. Tears were in her eyes while he left. The ne/t day) I saw her at her usual place) loo ing at him. I wal ed over and smiled to her. Too out a note # gave to her. She was surprised. She loo ed at me) smiled # accepts the note. The ne/t day) she appeared # passes me a note and left. It read) -%eaf"s heart is too heavy and wind couldn"t blow her away..-It"s not that leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree.- I replied her note with this statement and slowly she started to tal to me # accept my presents # phone calls. I now that the person she loves is not me. But I have this perseverance that one day I will ma e her li e me.

Within K months) I have declared my love for her no less than 9D times. 'very time) she will divert away from the topic. But I never give up. If I decide I want her to be mine) I will definitely use all means to win her over. I can"t remember how many times I have declared my love to her. ,lthough I now) she will try to divert but I still bear a small ray of hope. &oping that she will agree to be my girlfriend. I didn"t hear any reply from her over the phone. I as ed) -What are you doing! &ow come you didn"t want to reply!- She said) -I"m nodding my head-. -,h!- I could n"t believe my ears. -I"m nodding my head- She replied loudly. I hang up the phone) 7uic ly changed and too a ta/i and rush to her place # press her doorbell. @uring the moment when she opens the door) I hugged her tightly. %eaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. 0r because Tree didn"t as herto stay...

Moral.. In love) we win very rarely) but when love is true) even if you lose) you still win *ust for having the tingle of loving someone more than you love yourself. There comes a time when we stop loving someone) not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that) they"d be happier if we let go.. Why do we close our eyes when we sleep! When we cry! When we imagine! When we iss! This is because T&' 20ST B',6TI86% T&I$:S I$ T&' W0?%@ ,?' 6$S''$. There are things that we never want to let go of) people we never want to leave behind) but eep in mind that letting go isn"t the end of the world. It"s the beginning of a new life. &appiness lies for those who cry those who hurt) those who have searched and those who have tried. 8or only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched our lives. , great love! It"s when you shed tears and still you care for them) it"s when they ignore you and still you long for them. It"s when they begin to love another and yet you smile and say) -I"m happy for you.- If love fails) set yourself free) let your heart spread its wings and fly again. ?emember you may find love and lose it) but when love dies) you never have to die with it. The strongest people are not those who always win but those who stand bac up when they fall. Somehow) along the course of life) you learn about yourself and reali1e that there should never be regrets) only a lifelong appreciation of the choices you"ve made.

%oving is not how you forget but how you forgive) not how you listen but how you understand) not what you see but how you feel) and not how you let go but how you hold on. It"s more dangerous to weep inwardly rather than outwardly. 0utward tears can be wiped away while secret tears scar forever.. It"s best to wait for the one you want than settle for one that"s available. It"s best to wait for the right one because life is too short to waste on *ust someone . . .

(old my hand . . .
, little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was ind of scared so he as ed his little daughter) -Sweetheart) please hold my hand so that you don"t fall into the river.- The little girl said) -$o) @ad. 3ou hold my hand.- -What"s the difference!- ,s ed the pu11led father.. -There"s a big difference)- replied the little girl. -If I hold your hand and something happens to me) chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand) I now for sure that no matter what happens) you will never let my hand go.- In any relationship) the essence of trust is not in its bind) but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than e/pecting them to hold yours . . .

'hat should not do when u r in love . . .
hi all of you there. first of all myself ) i am Srinivas) presently a studentE2B,F) 2y story starts li e this. I was a student in Hst year B.Tech) I saw a girl) at that time she was loo ed li e a fairy) well we were grown so much or one can say we were very advance at that time it only due to the fact that we were the same college. It was my love at first sight. since than I waited for her at Bus stop) where she used to come every day) at that time I dont now who was she) I have a very serious attraction on her. initially she didnt now about me) but when i came to now that she is my batch in the college I felt very happy) she new me as i daily waited for her to go as our way to go to college were same and some nights I used to go and stayed in front of her balcony to watch her smiley face. I li e her and at that time i don’t now what happened to me ) I became mad *ust to see her face ) i remember it was me in first year and she was in my lab) after her e/ams she went to her granny "s home ) and at that time I missed her a lot) I daily pray to :od that she come soon ) she also new that I had an attraction on her) finally she came ) but I determined I would never be staring her ) and I succeeded for two days ) but in these two days ) she responded me as if she also li e me) I became very happy because at that time she was most precious thing for me) and she is now staring at me as if she wants me to be her ) here my friends I made a mista e ) I thought the things are going right and when I will be able to marry her I will disclose her how much I love her )so I remain silent ) days passed now I was in final year and

she was in other Section both of us passed in our board e/aminations ) I applied for *ob and she ..... ) I dont now at that time) but soon after two months) I came to now that she has got Iisa for 2.S there my friends I made the second mista e) I dont even congratulate her ) she was in front of me) but I simply get a side of her way) B’co1 I don’t want her to go. and the biggest mista e i ever made at that time was I believed her that she is mine and she will never be of any other boy) she too admission in university) she is very beautiful girl ) any body can propose her )and I am not so good loo ing boy an avg. boy you can say) I didnt even say her something ) a boy in college) tall handsome proposed her ) as the boy was good so she became her girlfriend ) when I came to now this I weep throughout the night ) I dont have any anger to god that he created me li e that ) but at that time I pray :od -why u dont ma e me handsome than that guy!one day ) I determined to tell her how much i love you ) I called her ) but I was so much e/cited that I couldnt even say that I li e you )she as ed -what do you wana say- I replied )-you now what I will say you- ! than she immediately said )o than we are friends nothing else ) I was very happy as if i got everything ) but on our second Teletal she said she didn’t li e me and I would never try to call her again ) what should i said ) I said o ) say her bye till than we never tal ed) i thought she could come to me to say yes i am now ur friend ) but she didn’t come ) so my friends if you li e someone then propose her ) don’t miss any chance to tal her as i did) and if u will have a daily communication than only u can have a successful story ) so as for sorry if u lost contact but don’t let her go ) other wise ur story will be identical to me . . .

'hen you divorce me, Carry me out in your arms . . .
0n my wedding day) I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one(room flat. 2y buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy. I was a strong and happy bridegroom. This was the scene of ten years ago. The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water> we had a id) I went into business and tried to ma e more money. When the assets were steadily increasing) the affections between u seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. 'very morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. 0ur id was studying in a boarding school. 0ur marriage life seemed to be enviably happy.5 But the calm life was more li ely to be affected by unpredictable changes. Then @ew came into my life.. It was a sunny day. I stood on a spacious balcony. @ew hugged me from behind. 2y heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. @ew said) -3ou are the ind of man who best draws girls" eyeballs. &er words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we *ust married) my wife said) -2en li e you) once successful) will be very attractive to girls.Thin ing of this) I became somewhat hesitant. I new I had betrayed my wife. But I couldn"t help doing so.

I moved @ew"s hands aside and said)- 3ou go to select some furniture) 0.K.! I"ve got something to do in the company.- 0bviously she was unhappy) because I had promised to go and see it with her. ,t the moment) the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something impossible to me. &owever) I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. $o matter how mildly I mentioned it to her) she would be deeply hurt. &onestly) she was a good wife. 'very evening she was busy with wor around the house. I was sitting in front of the TI. Then we watched TI together. 0r) I was lounging before the computer) visuali1ing @ew"s body. This was the means of my entertainment. 0ne day I said to her in a slight *o ing way) -suppose we divorce) what will you do!She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. ,pparently she believed that "divorce" was something too far away from her. I couldn"t imagine how she would react once she got to now I was serious. When my wife went to my office) @ew had *ust stepped out. ,lmost all the staff loo ed at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while tal ing with her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes. 0nce again) @ew said to me) -&e $ing) divorce her) 0.K.! Then we live together.I nodded. I new I could not hesitate any more. When my wife served the last dish) I held her hand. -I"ve got something to tell you)I said. She sat down and ate 7uietly. ,gain I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn"t now how to open my mouth. But I had to let her now what I was thin ing. -I want a divorce.- I raised a serious topic calmly. She didn"t seem to be much annoyed by my words) instead she as ed me softly) -why..!-. -I"m serious.- I avoided her 7uestion. This so(called answer turned her angry. She threw away the chopstic s and shouted at me) -you are not a man5-. ,nd that night) we didn"t tal to each other. She was weeping. I new she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer) because my heart had gone to @ew. With a deep sense of guilt) I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house) our car) and AD< sta e of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not ta e bac what I had said. 8inally she cried loudly in front of me) which was what I had e/pected to see. To me her

cry was actually a ind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several wee s seemed to be firmer and clearer. , late night) I came bac home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fell asleep fast. When I wo e up) I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again. She brought up her divorce conditions> she didn"t want anything from me) but I was supposed to give her one month"s time before the divorce) and in the month"s time we must live as normal life as possible. &er reason was simple> our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn"t want him to see our marriage was bro en. She passed me the agreement she drafted) and then as ed me) -&e $ing) do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day!This 7uestion suddenly brought bac all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said) -I remember..-. -3ou carried me in your arms-) she continued) -so) I have a re7uirement) that is) you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. 8rom now to the end of this month) you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.I accepted with a smile. I new she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage with a romantic form. I told @ew about my wife"s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. -$o matter what tric s she does) she has to face the result of divorce)- she said scornfully. &er words more or less made me feel uncomfortable. 2y wife and I hadn"t had any body contact since my divorce intention. I carried her out for the first day) we both appeared clumsy. 0ur son clapped behind us) -daddy is holding mummy in his arms.- &is words brought me a sense of pain. 8rom the bedroom to the sitting room) then to the door) I wal ed over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly) -%et us start from today) don"t tell our son. -I nodded) feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus) I drove to office. 0n the second day) both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I reali1ed that I hadn"t loo ed at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrin les on her face.

0n the third day) she whispered to me) -The outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.0n the fourth day) when I lifted her up) I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visuali1ation of @ew became vaguer. 0n the fifth and si/th day) she ept reminding me something) such as) where she put the ironed shirts) I should be careful while loo ing) etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger. I didn"t tell @ew about this. I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday wor out made me stronger. I said to her) -It seems not difficult to carry you now.She was pic ing her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried 7uite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed) -,ll my dresses have grown fatter.- I smiled. But I suddenly reali1ed that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily) not because I was stronger. I new she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. ,gain) I felt a sense of pain. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head. 0ur son came in at the moment. -@ad) it"s time to carry mum out.- &e said. To him) seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms) wal ing from the bedroom) through the sitting room) to the hallway. &er hand surrounded my nec softly and naturally. I held her body tightly) as if we came bac to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad. 0n the last day) when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. 0ur son had gone to school. She said) -,ctually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old..I held her tightly and said) -Both you and I didn"t notice that our life was lac of such intimacy.-

I *umped out of the car swiftly without loc ing the door. I was afraid any delay would ma e me change my decision. I wal ed upstairs. @ew opened the door. I said to her) -Sorry) @ew) I won"t divorce. I"m serious.She loo ed at me) astonished. Then she touched my forehead. -3ou got no fever.She said. I moved her hand off my head. -Sorry) @ew)- I said) -I can only say sorry to you) I won"t divorce. 2y marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn"t value the details of life) not because we didn"t love each other any more. $ow I understand that since I carried her into the home) she gave birth to our child) I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you..@ew seemed to suddenly wa e up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I wal ed downstairs and drove to the office. When I passed the floral shop on the way) I ordered a bou7uet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl as ed me to write the greeting words on the card. I smiled and wrote) -I"ll carry you out every morning until we are old . . .-

A "tory 'orth )eading . . .
I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attac . ,bout a wee after his death) she shared some of her insight with a classroom of students. ,s the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over) she moved a few things aside on the edge of her des and sat down there. With a gentle loo of reflection on her face) she paused and said) -4lass is over. I would li e to share with all of you) a thought that is unrelated to class) but which I feel is very important. -'ach of us is put here on earth to learn) share) love) appreciate and give of ourselves. $one of us nows when this fantastic e/perience will end. It can be ta en away at any moment. Perhaps this is the Powers way of telling us that we must ma e the most out of every single day.&er eyes beginning to water) she went on) -So I would li e you all to ma e me a promise. 8rom now on) on your way to school) or on your way home) find something beautiful to notice. It doesn"t have to be something you see) it could be a scent) perhaps of freshly ba ed bread wafting out of someone"s house) or it could be the sound of the bree1e slightly rustling the leaves in the trees) or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. -Please loo for these things) and cherish them. 8or) although it may sound trite to some) these things are the "stuff" of life. The little things we are put here on earth to en*oy. The things we often ta e for granted. We must ma e it important to notice them) for at anytime it can all be ta en away.The class was completely 7uiet. We all pic ed up our boo s and filed out of the room silently. That afternoon) I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester.

'very once in a while) I thin of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all of us) and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all overloo . Ta e notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. :o barefoot) or wal on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. 8or as we get older) is not the things we did that we often regret) but the things we didn"t do. ?emember) life is not measured by the number of breaths we ta e) but by the moments that ta e our breath away . . .

,ive More Minutes . . .
,ll the Time in the World While at the par one day) a woman sat down ne/t to a man on a bench near a playground. -That"s my son over there)- she said) pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide. -&e"s a fine loo ing boy)- the man said. -That"s my son on the swing in the blue sweater.- Then) loo ing at his watch) he called to his son. -What do you say we go) Todd!- Todd pleaded) -+ust five more minutes) @ad. Please! +ust five more minutes.- The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his heart"s content. 2inutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. -Time to go now!- ,gain Todd pleaded) -8ive more minutes) @ad. +ust five more minutes.- The man smiled and said) -0.K.-2y) you certainly are a patient father)- the woman responded. The man smiled and then said) -2y older son Tommy was illed by a drun driver last year while he was riding his bi e near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I "d give anything for *ust five more minutes with him. I"ve vowed not to ma e the same mista e with Todd. &e thin s he has five more minutes to swing. The truth is) I get 8ive more minutes to watch him play . . .

$o be brave
To be brave is to love someone unconditionally) without e/pecting anything in return. To *ust give. That ta es courage) because we don"t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt. &ave you ever been in love! &orrible isn"t it! It ma es you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. 3ou build up all these defenses) you build up a whole suit of armor) so that nothing can hurt you) then one stupid person) no different from any other stupid person) wanders into your stupid life...3ou give them a piece of you.

That"s what love is. It"s the never(ending dedication to one person. 0etween .s

While my heart can only scream his. I"ve been seen caressing his s in with my ga1e. 2emori1ing his shape. I"ve dreamt of how his lips round his words. ,s I replace friendship with love. 2y heart hangs heavy when I hear his voice. 2y pulse races with his scent. ,s he wal s past) her on his arm. 6nli e any of the others) he ills me and eeps me alive.

When I fall in love) I want to be with her always= In happiness) to smile with her) and be the one to hug her near. In sadness) to cry with her) and be the one to dry her tears. When I fall in love) I will spend my every wa ing and sleeping moments with her and catch each moment in its eternally lovely form. When I fall in love)

I will miss her the very moment I say "goodbye" and my heart will yearn for the very moment I say Nhello". When I fall in love) all my old hurts and pains will seem lost and faded away and I will be strong and brave once again. When I fall in love) I want you to be happy always) ever and feel li e the happiest person of them all . . . Because that"s what I will feel) when I fall in love) with you.

My City
I once lived in a city. It was a strong) safe city. It had high walls around it built in earlier times to fend off fre7uent attac ers. The walls were strong ones and I maintained them in order to eep myself safe from hurtful things. I can"t say I felt safe in my strong city but it was as close as I could get. But I was alone in my city. 2y city had become a prison for me. The same walls which I had built to eep out pain had also ept out good things. The things that ma e life worth living. While I was relatively safe in my city) I was besieged in a prison of my own ma ing. 3et I continued maintenance on my walls. I chose the safety of a prison rather than face the dangers that lay on the outside. 'ven after there were no more attac s) no more attac ers) I ept up my city"s walls. Then one day I heard of another city. , traveler from another city had gained my trust and I gave her admittance to my city. It was the first real company I had had in a very long time. Time after time my traveler friend returned. I soon began to lose interest in my walls. It"s ama1ing how fast they fell when I forgot about them. I don"t now if my traveler friend thought it strange to find the walls around my city coming down. I myself did not notice. I en*oyed her company so much that my walls did not even cross my mind.

I wondered what sort of city it was that my traveler friend hailed from. It was then that I reali1ed that my walls had come completely down. They were beyond repair and I did not wish to build them up again. So I left my once strong city and set out to find that other city from where my traveler friend had come. The place where I for some reason had begun to believe I could be safe and yet not alone. It was not a long *ourney. I soon reached the city I was loo ing for. I don"t now what I e/pected to see when I reached that city. But what a sin ing feeling I had when I stood before the city and found it surrounded by high walls probably as strong and solid as mine had been. I could not get in. I can not go bac ) for the old city cannot ever be home again. So I wander outside the other city. I still tal to my traveler friend and I try to glean from the things she says a picture of what the city must be li e. But how I long to be in that city. To have the walls open their gates for me. To have a city to be at home in once more. ,nd hopefully to be better off than I was before. I now what I left behind and I do not miss it nor do I feel the least bit of longing to return. So I wait on the outside of this other city praying that some day I can win admittance. I fear I may have to wait forever.

3ust ,riends
We en*oy each others company but for the most part) we avoid it. We pretend there is nothing there. We"re *ust friends. 'very time we meet) it"s aw ward at first. We chec our guard and put up the walls. We"re *ust friends that"s all. We call each other on the phone) and always have a good e/cuse for doing so. @o friends need an e/cuse! 3ou remind me that -We must be careful-) -We can"t go there-) you say. The rules have been set) and we live by them. We sit and tal for hours) two sets of blue eyes interloc ed and neither turns away. I hang on your every word. 3our simple presence in a room) gives my life a purpose. ,dd your voice and a smile) and I melt away. The thought of you touching me ma es my body scream out with yearning. But we"re *ust friends) right! Why do I feel it"s more! ,re we in self(inflicted denial! 0ur past hurts have made us so afraid) We"d rather be lonely than to ta e that chance again. I wish I could tell you how I really feel inside.

That I"d be willing to ta e that chance To be more than *ust your friend. I now you sense this) as I do) but it"s easier to pretend. Saying it would ma e it real and you"d run away and hide from me. So I"ll try and eep the flood gates closed and be content that you let me be) +ust your friend.

@ecember 9;) 9DDM by Susan +. 'lliott It’s hard but it happens.

HDth grade ,s I sat there in 'nglish class) I stared at the girl ne/t to me. She was my so called -best friend-. I stared at her long) sil y hair) and wished she was mine. But she didn"t notice me li e that) and I new it. ,fter class) she wal ed up to me and as ed me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said -than s- and gave me a iss on the chee . I wanted to tell her) I want her to now that I don"t want to be *ust friends) I love her but I"m *ust too shy) and I don"t now why. HHth grade The phone rang. 0n the other end) it was her. She was in tears) mumbling on and on about how her love had bro e her heart. She as ed me to come over because she didn"t want to be alone) so I did. ,s I sat ne/t to her on the sofa) I stared at her soft eyes) wishing she was mine. ,fter 9 hours) one @rew Barrymore movie) and three bags of chips) she decided to go to sleep. She loo ed at me) said -than s- and gave me a iss on the chee . I want to tell her) I want her to now that I don"t want to be *ust friends) I love her but I"m *ust too shy) and I don"t now why. Senior year The day before prom she wal ed to my loc er. 2y date is sic - she said= he"s not going to go well) I didn"t have a date) and in Mth grade) we made a promise that if neither of us had dates) we would go together *ust as -best friends-. So we did. Prom night) after everything was over) I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine) but she isn"t thin of me li e that) and I now it. Then she said -I had the best time) than s5- and gave me a iss on the chee . I want to tell her) I want her to now that I don"t want to be *ust friends) I love her but I"m *ust too shy) and I don"t now why. :raduation @ay , day passed) then a wee ) then a month. Before I could blin ) it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated li e an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine) but she didn"t

notice me li e that) and I new it. Before everyone went home) she came to me in her smoc and hat) and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said) -you"re my best friend) than s- and gave me a iss on the chee . I want to tell her) I want her to now that I don"t want to be *ust friends) I love her but I"m *ust too shy) and I don"t now why. , 8ew 3ears %ater $ow I sit in the pews of the church.

I wish he would tell me he loved me5 SI wish I did too...S I thought to my self) and I cried. 2eeting you was fate) becoming your friend was a choice) but falling in love with you was beyond my control When something happens to you) good or a bad) consider what it means. There"s a purpose to life"s events) to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard. 3ou can"t ma e someone love you) all you can do is be someone who can be loved) the rest is up to the person to reali1e your worth. I don"t now what it is about you that closes and opens) only something in me understands the voice in your eyes is deeper than all roses.

A Special World A special world for you and me A special bond one cannot see It wraps us up in its cocoon And holds us fiercely in its womb. Its fingers spread like fine spun gold Gently nestling us to the fold Like silken thread it holds us fast Bonds like this are meant to last. And though at times a thread may break A new one forms in its wake To bind us closer and keep us strong In a special world, where we belong.
