Lovely Lyrics of"I still Love you"



Tell me why
What did I do?

Just the other night the love of my life went away
And I can’t sleep at night it’s driving me crazy
Why can’t you see that I miss looking in your eyes
Why can’t you see that I miss kissing you at night?

I still love you
Please take my hand
Let me help you to understand
Ain’t nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain’t nobody gonna do the things I do for you

Tell me why when I call you at home
You say your with your friends, don’t call no more
Why can’t you see the love thats right in your face
Why can’t you see that I don’t want no one to come and take your place

I still love you
Please take my hand
Let me help you to understand
Ain’t nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain’t nobody gonna do the things I do for you

I still love you
Please take my hand
Let me help you to understand
Ain’t nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain’t nobody gonna do the things I do for you

This is something that I can’t understand
Why couldn’t you just be my man
And all the love that we given
I don’t want it to be wasted
Why can’t you face it

I still love you
Please take my hand
Let me help you to understand
Ain’t nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain’t nobody gonna do the things I do for you

I still love you
Please take my hand
Let me help you to understand
Ain’t nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain’t nobody gonna do the things I do for you

I still love you
Please take my hand
Let me help you to understand
Ain’t nobody gonna love you like I do
Ain’t nobody gonna do the things I do for you

Beautiful Love Messages...

It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does.

The best and most beautiful things in the world can't be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart.

Love is like sunshine. It brings a golden glow to its beholder's face. And a warm feeling all over their body. It awakens souls and opens eyes. And when its over, it leaves billions of small memories called stars. To remind the world, that it still exists.

When you love someone, it's something. When someone loves you, it's another thing. When you love the person who loves you back, it's everything.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to be loved in return.

How Will I Know "I Am In Love".............???



Our human nature indicates to us that love is nothing more than an emotion. We make decisions based on our emotions, and even get married because we feel "in love." This is the reason that about half of all first marriages end in divorce.
Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance"
It can be very easy to fall in love with someone, but there are some questions to ask yourself before deciding if your "love radar" is leading you in the right direction.
one should consider is if they are a good candidate for being a potential mate.
Are they able to give their time and energy into helping the relationship and perhaps marriage last a lifetime? Are they someone whom they would want to marry?

Are You Easily Approachable?



So, you are looking for a dating partner. You are attending parties, trying to locate someone suitable, talking to friends and requesting them to let you know if they come across someone who may be right for you.

Like you, many others are looking for a suitable partner. And few of them may find that you look quite suitable. But they don’t approach you. Why - fear of rejection. Your general manner of behaving and talking may not be very outgoing and friendly. You may be limiting your talks to the minimum required and may be looking like someone who is not very friendly and may reject an offer of a date.

This is true for many. They don’t look very friendly. People don’t want to risk asking them for a date. This makes their job of getting a suitable date tougher. What if they learn to smile often? To go beyond the curt talk they do and act friendlier with others. It would surely help if they change their business like approach.

Many of you are introvert. Many of you stop your talk after finishing the business. Let us give you a simple example. You will find two kinds of people - one who will chat with the cabbie about his life and other who would get in a cab and get out without speaking an extra word. The earlier type is friendlier and takes interest in people. Make dating a two way street. Like you are searching for a partner, open the doors to others who are searching for someone like you. Your job will become much easier.
