I can't help the way I feel.
I just can't get my heart to heal.
You've hurt me, but its nothing new,
In fact I still retain my feelings for you.
I used to be little, I used to be scared.
I thought that you actually cared.
But I'm older now, and I can see,
Just how much you've grown on me.
I still pine for your love, I still wish for your eyes.
The thought of your hands still brings about sighs.
I miss you dear, and maybe someday
You can think of me the same way.

Love should not be defined as a state of dependence, but as something that depends on you.

I checked my inbox today and received an email from a friend. I may have come to know of this beautiful love story pretty late but I think it's worth sharing.

An incredible love story has come out of China recently and managed to touch the world. It is a story of a man and an older woman who ran off to live and love each other in peace for over half a century.


The 70-year-old Chinese man who hand-carved over 6,000 stairs up a mountain for his 80-year-old wife has passed away in the cave which has been the couple's home for the last 50 years.

Over 50 years ago, Liu Guojiang a 19 year-old boy, fell in love with a 29 year-old widowed mother named Xu Chaoqin.

In a twist worthy of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, friends and relatives criticized the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Xu already had children.

At that time, it was unacceptable and immoral for a young man to love an older woman.. To avoid the market gossip and the scorn of their communities, the couple decided to elope and lived in a cave in Jiangjin County in Southern ChongQing Municipality.

In the beginning, life was harsh as They had nothing, no electricity or even food. They had to eat grass and roots they found in the mountain, and Liu made a kerosene lamp that they used to light up their lives.

Xu felt that she had tied Liu down and repeatedly asked him, 'Are you regretful? Liu always replied, 'As long as we are industrious, life will improve.'

In the second year of living in the mountain, Liu began and continued for over 50 years, to hand-carve the steps so that his wife could get down the mountain easily.

Half a century later in 2001, a group of adventurers were exploring the forest and were surprised to find the elderly couple and the over 6,000 hand-carved steps. Liu MingSheng, one of their seven children said, 'My parents loved each other so much, they have lived in seclusion for over 50 years and never been apart a single day. He hand carved more than 6,000 steps over the years for my mother's convenience, although she doesn't go down the mountain that much.'

The couple had lived in peace for over 50 years until last week. Liu, now 72 years, returned from his daily farm work and collapsed. Xu sat and prayed with her husband as he passed away in her arms. So in love with Xu, was Liu, that no one was able to release the grip he had on his wife's hand even after he had passed away.

'You promised me you'll take care of me, you'll always be with me until the day I died, now you left before me, how am I going to live without you?'

Xu spent days softly repeating this sentence and touching her husband's black coffin with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Their story became one of the top 10 love stories from China , collected by the Chinese Women Weekly. The local government has decided to preserve the love ladder and the place they lived as a museum, so this love story can live forever.

When your children are young and impetuous~Nurture them within God`s boundries,not yours.~Pray for them,anyway....The world`s influence,seems to possess them~Through God`s strength,you have power.~Pray for them anyway....Parents can`t win every argument with their children~discuss it with them;pride can get in the way.~Pray for them anyway.....Stay in touch with their feelings and emotions~Be compasionate,if they lose their faith in themselves.~Pray for them anyway....If they stray,and you think they`re in trouble~Stay firm,show them there are better paths.~Pray for them anyway......When they become independent,but they`re not ready to be~Encourage.Don`t hinder their growth.~Pray for them anyway.....If they talk a language you don`t understand~Find some middle ground to communicate.~Pray for them anyway.....Some children grow up too quickly,not needing you.~Give them their space,respect what maturity they have.~Pray for them anyway.....If they are ready to leave the nest,as adults~Respect them as unique individuals.~Pray for them anyway.....When they take advantage,and there isn`t a spouse~Remind them you are still a family,love them.~But always, pray for them anyway....And never give up!

The red rose whisperer of passion,and the white rise breathes of love;O,the red rose is a falcon,and the white rose is a dove, but I send you a cream-white rose bud,with a flash on its petal tips;for the love that is purest and sweetest,has a kiss of desire on its lips.

''If you meet someone in whose presence you feel a desire to achive,such person is worthy of your love, and is awakening love in your heart.''

''Time is nothing.The desire to love is everything''.
