·Well, this ones from 311 "love song"
My old girlfriend used to think i didnt like her sometimes (the times i was DPing) She told me once she thought i was acting spacey because i was dis-interested in her, but i guess i dont really have to explain...
Anyway...
"Whenever im alone with you, you make me feel like home again
Whenever im alone with you, you make me feel like i am whole again
Whenever im alone, you make me feel like i am young again
Whenever im alone with you, you make me feel like i fun again
However far away, I will always love you
However long i stay, i will always love you
Whatever words i say, I will always love you
I will always love you"
We broke it off because i went to college, and shes still in highschool.... i really miss her

Berto,
I love that song. Ever hear "Count On Me" by default? That's our song (bf and I).
Sorry to hear about your old gf. When I used to come to an end in my relationships, I'd try to tell myself "some things are better left for other people to find"
Count On Me
I know that life ain't always good to you.
I've seen exactly what it?s put you through
Thrown you around and turned you upside down and so you
You got to thinking there was no way out
You started sinking and it pulled you down
It may be tough you've to get back up
Because you know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don't forget
You can count on me
Cause? I will carry you till you carry on
Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me
To hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone
I wonder why nobody's waiting on you
I'd like to be the one to pull you through your darkest times
I'd love to be the light that finds you
I see a silver lining on your cloud
I'll pick you up whenever you fall down
Just take my hand and I will help you stand
Because you know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don't forget
You can count on me
Cause? I will carry you till you carry on
Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me to hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is
Gone so you can live today
Seems so long to yesterday
Keep on counting on me to carry you till you carry on
Carry on
You know that life ain?t over yet
I?m here for you so don?t forget
You can count on me cause I will carry you till you carry on
Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me to hold you till that healing is done
And every time you fall apart
You can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone
Remember life ain?t over yet
I?m here for you so don?t forget
That you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone
Remember life ain?t over yet
I?m here for you so don?t forget
That you can count on me to hold you till that feeling is gone

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
~Author Unknown
When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground. ~Author Unknown
Don't be discouraged. It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. ~Author Unknown
Men are made stronger on realization that the helping hand they need is at the end of their own arm. ~Sidney J. Phillips
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
James D. Miles
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
Helen Adams Keller
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
William Shakespeare
But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet, Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
William Butler Yeats
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals.
J. Isham
A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway.
Fr. Jerome Cummings
Okay okay I will stop, but I really love quotes ... :wink:

Just a few more.. hope more people add to this...
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
- Albert Einstein
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do in our own?
- Brigham Young
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength.
- St. Francis De Sales
When you feel "dog tired" at night, it may be because you growled all day.
- unknown
You can't expect people to look eye to eye with you if you are looking down on them.
- unknown
Seldom does an individual exceed his own expectations.
- unknown
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
- Leo Buscaglia

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely re-arranging their prejudices.
As a rule we disbelieve all the facts and theories for which we have no use.
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.
There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers.

"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering."
Found that statement in "Man''s Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl.
"What we've got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we'll sink."
-John Lennon
"But your sorrow shall be turned into joy."

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light; and
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
Seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand; To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
-Saint Francis of Assisi
"As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible but more mysterious."
-Albert Schweitzer

Inner beauty is not a mushy-gushy nougat at the center of your being. It's not a fluffy-fuzzy glow beneath the surface of your skin. Inner beauty is an incredible force of power that transcends all the ugliness of the outside world.
Love answers easily to love. Hope fills to overflowing when the horizon looks promising. Peace floats smoothly on a calm sea. Graciousness abounds when life is good. Yet, as we all well know, life is never 'all good'.
It takes a fierce amount of strength to face hatred with love, hopelessness with hope, tribulation with peace, and hurt with grace. Inner beauty is an indestructible diamond that finds enough light to reflect itself in a world gone dark.
Left to our own devices, love, hope, peace and grace are easily trampled beneath the monstrous feet of greed, jealousy, envy, regret, pain and hatred. Outside support is good and well and kind, but it cannot address what it cannot see. It cannot petition turmoil face to face - in the place where it lives. Issues that reside at the heart level, the soul level, need inside support.
When you're weak and weary, when you're tired of being tired, look within for the source of your strength. Look inside for respite from a harsh world. Look deep, look long and look hard for the beautiful dwelling within you. Look for God inside yourself.
No...... inner beauty isn't mushy or gushy or fluffy or fuzzy. It doesn't need compliments, recognition or reinforcement to be beautiful. It is an Almighty force - alive and beautiful - that moves you on an upward road every minute of every day of your life.
