Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.-- Albert Camus
If I had a star for every time your smile has cheered me up, I'd be holding the night sky in the palm of my hand
A friend is someone who knows all there is to know about you, and loves you anyway.
I guarantee we'll have tough times and I guarantee that at some point one or both of us will want to get out of this but I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine I'll regret it for the rest of my life because I know in my heart you're the only one for me.
The skies may fall,the stars may too,but in the end,I'll still love you
Don't know what I'd do without you don't know where I'd be your'e not just another boy..your'e everything to me
When I drop a tear into the ocean, the day I find it is the day I'll stop loving you
Everyone says you only fall in love once, but I don't agree, because everytime I hear your name I fall in love all over again
It hurts to breathe because everytime I do, I prove I can live without you
Sometimes I wonder if life is worth living then I see your smile and I know it is
Whenever I'm down, you always make me smile, Whenever I need someone to talk to, I know you'll talk for a while, Whenever I'm upset, I know you care cuz everytime I'm lonely, you always seem to be there.
I love your eyes and I love your smile; The way it makes me feel for just a little while, I love your style and all the things that you do...what can I say I guess that I love you.
If I could be an angel I'd make your every wish come true but I am only human, Just a girl who is loving you
*I* luv u alwayz these words r tru
*Sleep* is sweet when i dream of u

Missing someone gets easier everyday, because even though its one day further from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will
"There is no greater happiness than having you...
and no greater bliss than sharing this life with you.
If I had one breath to spare...If I had just one moment to live...
I would be spending it with you."
I've always wanted a world of my own were I can do whatever I want, where I could live alone,
but then I found you, now I want to have world shared by us two, a paradise shared with you...
I never know what the future brings; But I know you are here with me now and we'll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with.
Some love one, some love two. I love one, and that is you.
If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.
If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever

Conversation Starters
some of the things you need to do is have starter lines they break the ice
so how did you two meet,

which was your best ever birthday
where were you borndo you prefer old music to this modern music which era of music did you like the best.
Remember when greeting people from other countries the technique may be different to an English greeting,
When greeting someone new, always start with a firm handshake and say, "How do you do". This is not a question, therefore expect the same response back. Another appropriate greeting is to say, "Hello, I am __________. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The British place considerable value on punctuality, and you should aim to arrive at the exact time suggested or a few minutes early. If invited to a home for dinner, a gift for the host is considered respectful. This is usually flowers or chocolates.
I often avoid such openings as What's up? / What's new?
This is a common, informal way of say "hi" and "how are you." For "what's up?" - in pronunciation and informal spelling (for example in texting or an informal email between friends, you might hear/see: Sup / Whassup / Whazzup Common answers include:
Back to top
Not much.
Nothing.
Hey, what's up. (coming back at you)
I usually start with Hi, what do you know?
Yes, a bit spiky but it sets the trend that you wish to engage in conversation and avoid the negatives like - Not much etc.
Because after "not much" it would require another opening statement to continue a conversation so avoid what's up whenever you can, UNLESS you wish the exchange to be as short as possible. Other short starters include...
How's it going? / What's going on? / How's everything?
These can all be simple greetings or questions similar to "How are you?" Careful! Similar to the informal situations above, the answer to these questions should usually be a simple answer. Example answers include:
Good, you?
Fine, you?
Not bad
