But this life's not for you

"You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving." - Ami Carmichael

"I discovered some time ago that being in the struggle for freedom, to fight against injustice or to end poverty is not a part time job, nor can it be treated as a hobby."

- Larry King

C'est la vie

"For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else." Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

A secret for me to hold

You're beautiful so silently

It lies beneath a shade of blue

It struck me so violently

When I looked at you

But others pass, they never pause

To feel that magic in your hand

To me you're like a wild rose

They never understand why

I cried for you

When the sky cried for you

And when you went I became a hopeless drifter

But this life was not for you

Though I learned from you

That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world

With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget

This love of ours or that we met

They may not know

How much you meant to me

Without you now I see

How fragile the world can be

And I know you've gone away

But in my heart you'll always stay

I cried for you - Katie Melua
