loving again

i remember the day
since you left me
i cried alone in my room
bringing back the thought of you
leaving me...


so much to say
just as you left me
your smile that's kept
in my memory
but now you're gone
and now i'm missing you...


if only i could
turn back the time
the time when i'm still
with you...


i'm afraid to love again
you've made a lot of
heartaches in me
can't you see?

i'm afraid to love again
things have fallen apart
but i know
that i don't want you to go


i remember the time
when i had you
the promises we've made
together
still kept in my heart


but now that you're gone
what's left is a memory
but i'm not finding another one
'coz somehow
you're still a part of me...


if only i could
bring back the time
the time when i'm still
with you...


i'm afraid to love again
you've made a lot of
heartaches in me
can't you see?


i'm afraid to love again
things have fallen apart
but i know
that i don't want you to go..

"..Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about...."
