Yann Tiersen - Soundtrack from Amelia

by Alexander Pushkin

I loved you: and, it may be, from my soul
The former love has never gone away,
But let it not recall to you my dole;
I wish not sadden you in any way.

I loved you silently, without hope, fully,
In diffidence, in jealousy, in pain;
I loved you so tenderly and truly,
As let you else be loved by any man (woman).

18 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I Was 18

18 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I Was 18

Trees are like people

trees are like people


trees are like people
they come in many shades of black and white
and yellow and brown

trees are like people
some are round and short, others tall and thin
but all wear colorful adornments that change with the seasons

trees are like people
some like the sun, while some like the shade
some bear fruit, while others were not meant to

trees are like people
they have limbs and knees, and scars and crowns and lobes and teeth
trees are like people
seedlings, fragile, young and needy
that, nourished, grow strong and secure in their roots

trees are like people
some stand alone atop a hill
with prickly needles on branches bent and beaten by the ages
while some flourish in groves, happy to be surrounded by their own kind

trees are like people
they all grow from the warmth of the sun
and drink of the rain
and stretch to reach the heavens

20 Ways to Raise Your IQ

20 Ways to Raise Your IQ

When a WOMAN is quiet,
Millions of things are running in her mind
When a WOMAN is not arguing,
She is thinking deeply
When a WOMAN looks at u with eyes full of
questions,
She is wondering how long you will be
around
When a WOMAN answers "i'm fine" after a
few seconds,
She is not at all fine
When a WOMAN stares at you,
She is wondering why you are lying
When a WOMAN lays on your chest,
She is wishing for you to be hers forever
When a WOMAN calls you everyday,
She is seeking for your attention
When a WOMAN sms's u everyday,
She wants you to reply at least once
When a WOMAN says I love you,
She means it
When a WOMAN says that she can't live
without you,
She has made up her mind that you are
her future
When a WOMAN says "i miss you",
No one in this world can miss you more
than that.
