A little boy invited his mother to attend his elementary school's first teacher-parent conference. To the little boy's dismay, she said she would go. This would be the first time that his classmates and teacher met his mother and he was embarrassed by her appearance. Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a severe scar that covered nearly the entire right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.
At the conference, the people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother despite the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed and hid himself from everyone. He did, however, get within earshot of a conversation between his mother and his teacher, and heard them speaking.
"How did you get the scar on your face?" the teacher asked.
The mother replied, "When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught on fire. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, so I went in. As I was running toward his crib, I saw a beam coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked unconscious but fortunately, a fireman came in and saved both of us." She touched the burned side of her face. "This scar will be permanent, but to this day, I have never regretted doing what I did."
At this point, the little boy came out running towards his mother with tears in his eyes. He hugged her and felt an overwhelming sense of the sacrifice that his mother had made for him. He held her hand tightly for the rest of the day.

Student Health Insurance: Something You Can
Obtaining good health insurance while you are studying overseas is a real necessity to protect you from minor and catastrophic medical expenses that can wipe out not only your savings, but you dreams of an education abroad.
There are often two different types of health insurance you can consider buying: internationl travel insurance and student insurance in the country where you will be going. An international travel insurance policy is usually purchased in your home country before you go abroad. It generally covers a wide variety of medical services, and you are often given a list of doctors in the area where you will travel who may even speak your native language. The drawback might be that you aren't reinbursed for your medical expenses immediately. In other words, you may have to pay all your medical expenses and then later submit your receipts to the insurance company.
On the other hand, getting student health insurance in the country where you will study might allow you to only pay a certain percentage of the medical cost at the time of service (commonly called a co-pay), and thus, you don't have to have sufficient cash to pay the entire bill at once.
Whatever you decide, obtaining some form of health insurance is something you should plan before you go overseas rather than waiting until you are sick with major medical bills to pay off.

Listening is powerful medicine
I believe listening is powerful Medicine.
Studies have shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after he begins talking.
It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I approached her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, struggling to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold, spoke quickly to the nurse, scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.
I leaned on the bedrail looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue that went something like this: "How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they're better today. The nurse mentioned you're anxious to see your son who's visiting you today. It's nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him."
She stopped me with a stern, authoritative voice. "Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story."
I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this contributed greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear conclusion. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard — without interruption, assumption or judgment.
Listening to someone's story costs less than expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis.
I often thought of what that woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected twist, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time — in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were affected. I still teach med students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of physician and patient.
I tell them I believe in the power of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that immeasurable healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.

An Ingenious Love Letter
There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl, but disliked by the girl’s father, who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl, yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl:
My love for you I once expressed
no longer lasts, instead, my distaste for you
is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you,
I even won’t like that look yours.
I’ll do nothing but
look away from you. You can never expect I’ll
marry you. The last chat we had
was so dull and dry that you shouldn’t think it
made me eager to see you again.
If we get married, I firmly believe I’ll
live a hard life, I can never
live happily with you, I’ll devote myself
but not
to you. No one else is more
harsh and selfish and least
solicitous and considerate than you.
I sincerely want to let you know
what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
ending our relations and refrain from
writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
things which displease me. You have no
sincere care for me. So long! Please believe
I don’t love you any longer. Don’t think
I still have a love of you!
Having read the letter, the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart.
The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully, her lad still had a deep love for her.
Do you know why? In fact, she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and , at last, she found the key – only every other line should be read, that is the first line, the third, the fifth … and so on to the end.
My love for you I once expressed

Life is about choices
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I'd be twins!" He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t get it. You can' t be positive all the time. How do you do it?"
Michael replied, each morning I wake up and say to myself 'Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live life. " I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me" said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", 'Gravity'" Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything.

Speaking Effective American English
On job interviews when first conversing with an individual and when addressing small or large groups, the first few seconds are critical in setting the tone for how you'll be perceived. If she has an annoying regional accent, uses incorrect grammar, has a limited vocabulary, and if she has an irritatingly sharp piercing voice, sounds whiny or bossy or doesn't articulate her words clearly, it' s an immediate turn-off. This isn't someone who you would hire or proudly introduce to your friends and business associates. This doesn't mean that everyone should try to sound like a professional actor or broadcaster. All of us have qualities unique to our own way of speaking, our individual voiceprint as distinctive as our fingerprints. Our voice is very personal and an important part of our identity. Some natural characteristics of our voice may be very appealing.
The idea is to take the voice with which you've been gifted and give it the very best sound that you can. With the right type of practice, by paying attention to the quality of your voice and by knowing how to properly express yourself,you' II almost immediately improve your opportunities in job interviews, social situations, in selling, and in running a meeting or addressing groups of people.
Let' s say it again, it all begins with the instrument, your voice. If its sound and quality is flawed and needs improvement, that' s where you start. That' s what everyone hears whether in casual conversation or in making a major speech to a large audience. Pure vowel sounds, articulation, proper breathing, expressive speaking patterns, a pleasing vocal range, naturalness, all these will make you get twice the result with half the effort.

Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

The love world is big,the love world is small
The love world is big, which can hold hundreds of disappointments;
the love world is small which is crowded even with three people inside.
原来爱情的世界很大，大到可以装下上百种委屈；
原来爱情的世界很小，小到三个人就挤到窒息。
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。
Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,
so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别的人；
在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。
It is better bo have love and lost than never to have loved at all.
宁可曾经爱过而失败，也不要从来未曾有过一次爱。
Love me little, love me long.
爱不贵亲密，而贵长久。
To live in a world without you is more painful than any punishment.
Do you know that no one can replace you in my heart?
生活在没有的你的世界，比任何一种惩罚都要痛苦，
你知道吗，对我而言，你是任何人都无法取代的。
If love is a mountain, then if men go up,
more women they will see while women will see fewer men.
如果爱情像座山，那么男人越往上走可以俯视的女人就越多，
而女人越往上走可以仰视的男人就越少。
Love makes man grow up or sink down.
爱情，要么让人成熟，要么让人堕落。
The only thing you can do when you no longer have something is not to forget.
当你不能再拥有的时候，唯一可以做的就是令自己不要忘记。
To forgive is not to forget, nor remit, but let it go;
to be lonely is not because you have no friends, but no one is living in your heart.
宽恕、原谅并不代表忘记，也不代表赦免，而是放自己一条生路。
孤单不是有没有朋友，而是有没有人住在你心里。
The worst way to miss someone is to be
sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.
失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身旁，却犹如远在天边。
To keep someone around you is not love; love is to let the one you love go freely.
不是把对方留在自己身边才叫爱，能放手让所爱的人离开，也是爱的一种。
During the whole life, you will regret for two things:
one is that you don’t get the one you love and the other is the one you love is not happy.
人的一生，有两种遗憾最折磨人：一是得不到你心爱的人；二是心爱的人得不到幸福。
Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。
Never expect the perfect man,
it’s not because that you cannot find, but just because there is no perfect man.
不要期待完美的男人，不是因为你期待不到，而是根本没有完美的男人。
An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but sometime for forgetting.
A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.
一段不被接受的爱情，需要的不是伤心，而是时间，一段可以用来遗忘的时间。
一颗被深深伤了的心，需要的不是同情，而是明白。
I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t make you cry.
没有人值得让你为他/她流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。
It’s often said that you will have the same life as the person you find.
Therefore, different choices make different endings.
人们说，找到了什么样的人就有了什么样的生活，于是不同的选择，就有不同的童话结尾。
Sometimes you need to look back,
otherwise you will never know what you have lost in the way of forever searching.
偶尔要回头看看，否则永远都在追寻，而不知道自己失去了什么。
Most of people are looking forward the crystal-like love—pure without any defect.
However the truth is most people are having the glass-like love.
许多人向往水晶般的爱情，晶莹剔透没有瑕疵。但更多人拥有的是玻璃般的爱情。
The one you love also loves you. This is a miracle.
And the god names this as falling in love with each other.
自己爱的人同时也爱着自己，这简直是一种奇迹，
神明为这种奇迹取了一个名字，叫做恋爱。
How it feels when you are loved by the one you love? How could it be like?
If you want to answer it immediately, you shall know how happy you are.
被自己所爱的人深爱着是什么样的感觉呢？会是什么样子呢？
想要立刻回答的人，你要知道自己是多么幸福。
Hope and trust is the tail of a lizard, which can reproduce even after being cut off.
希望和信任是蜥蜴的尾巴，即使被切断，但它们还会再长出来。
Do you think that the sourest feeling is to be jealous?
No, the sourest thing is that you have no rights to be jealous.
That’s the sourest thing.
你以为最酸的感觉是吃醋吗？不是的，最酸溜溜的感觉是没权吃醋，
根本就轮不到你吃醋，那才是…
To lost in something you love is better than to win in something you hate.
宁可失败在你喜欢的事情上，也不要成功在你所憎恶的事情上。
When every love comes to the end, if you look back,
you will find flowers and sorrows, but it’s always beautiful.
每段爱情在走向终结时，倒带回去，
一路上或花草鲜美，或落英缤纷，而最初总是倾心的。
I know that love shall not be compared, but I still used to complaining what he is lack of.
我知道感情不能拿来比较，但无意中还是习惯抱怨他所缺少的。
Never frown, even when you are sad,
because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容
。
Love is an impossible meeting.
For example, I am a bird flying in sky,
you are a leopard in forest. We just fall in love accidentally.
缘分是不可能的相遇。比如我是空中的鸟，你是林中的豹，只是我们碰巧相爱。
When someone abandons you, it is him that gets loss
because he lost someone who truly loves him
but you just lost one who doesn’t love you.
当你认为被抛弃的时候，受损失的其实是对方：
因为他失去了一个真正喜欢他的人，而你只不过少了一个不喜欢你…
The so-called turning-around is that you not only miss
the sun in day time but also the stars at night.
所谓的回头，只不过是丢掉了白天的太阳之后，又错过了夜晚的星星。
Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to,
doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.
爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。
Good love makes you see the whole world from one person
while bad love makes you abandon the whole world for one person.
好的爱情是你通过一个人看到整个世界，坏的爱情是你为了一个人舍弃世界。
Sometimes, I just wonder, we are from different waters,
although I admire your world, I will be drowned if I get close to you.
有时候我会想，我们是不同水域的动物，
虽然我很羡慕你那个世界的美丽，但是浅水区的我一走近，就会被深水淹死。
Why to ask so much when you are in love?
The mature never ask the past,
the wise never ask the present
and the open-minded never ask the future.
爱，又何必多问？成熟的人不问过去，聪明的人不问现在，豁达的人不问未来。
The key for happiness is not to find a perfect person,
but find someone and build a perfect relationship with him.
幸福的关键不在于找到一个完美的人，
而在找到一个人，然后和他一起努力建立一个完美的关系。
If you leave me, please don’t comfort me
because each sewing has to meet stinging pain.
离开我就别安慰我，要知道每一次缝补也会遭遇穿刺的痛。
The most special feeling of human is the one-sided love. That’s the unique.
You would never see a cat loving another cat in secret.
人类的感情最特别的就是单恋，那是绝无仅有的。
你绝不会看到一只猫，会偷偷地喜欢上另一只猫。
The love world is big, which can hold hundreds of disappointments;
the love world is small which is crowded even with three people inside.
原来爱情的世界很大，大到可以装下上百种委屈；
原来爱情的世界很小，小到三个人就挤到窒息。
the love world is small which is crowded even with three people inside.
原来爱情的世界很大，大到可以装下上百种委屈；
原来爱情的世界很小，小到三个人就挤到窒息。
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。
Don’t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,
so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别的人；
在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。
It is better bo have love and lost than never to have loved at all.
宁可曾经爱过而失败，也不要从来未曾有过一次爱。
Love me little, love me long.
爱不贵亲密，而贵长久。
To live in a world without you is more painful than any punishment.
Do you know that no one can replace you in my heart?
生活在没有的你的世界，比任何一种惩罚都要痛苦，
你知道吗，对我而言，你是任何人都无法取代的。
If love is a mountain, then if men go up,
more women they will see while women will see fewer men.
如果爱情像座山，那么男人越往上走可以俯视的女人就越多，
而女人越往上走可以仰视的男人就越少。
Love makes man grow up or sink down.
爱情，要么让人成熟，要么让人堕落。
The only thing you can do when you no longer have something is not to forget.
当你不能再拥有的时候，唯一可以做的就是令自己不要忘记。
To forgive is not to forget, nor remit, but let it go;
to be lonely is not because you have no friends, but no one is living in your heart.
宽恕、原谅并不代表忘记，也不代表赦免，而是放自己一条生路。
孤单不是有没有朋友，而是有没有人住在你心里。
The worst way to miss someone is to be
sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.
失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身旁，却犹如远在天边。
To keep someone around you is not love; love is to let the one you love go freely.
不是把对方留在自己身边才叫爱，能放手让所爱的人离开，也是爱的一种。
During the whole life, you will regret for two things:
one is that you don’t get the one you love and the other is the one you love is not happy.
人的一生，有两种遗憾最折磨人：一是得不到你心爱的人；二是心爱的人得不到幸福。
Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。
Never expect the perfect man,
it’s not because that you cannot find, but just because there is no perfect man.
不要期待完美的男人，不是因为你期待不到，而是根本没有完美的男人。
An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but sometime for forgetting.
A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.
一段不被接受的爱情，需要的不是伤心，而是时间，一段可以用来遗忘的时间。
一颗被深深伤了的心，需要的不是同情，而是明白。
I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。
No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t make you cry.
没有人值得让你为他/她流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。
It’s often said that you will have the same life as the person you find.
Therefore, different choices make different endings.
人们说，找到了什么样的人就有了什么样的生活，于是不同的选择，就有不同的童话结尾。
Sometimes you need to look back,
otherwise you will never know what you have lost in the way of forever searching.
偶尔要回头看看，否则永远都在追寻，而不知道自己失去了什么。
Most of people are looking forward the crystal-like love—pure without any defect.
However the truth is most people are having the glass-like love.
许多人向往水晶般的爱情，晶莹剔透没有瑕疵。但更多人拥有的是玻璃般的爱情。
The one you love also loves you. This is a miracle.
And the god names this as falling in love with each other.
自己爱的人同时也爱着自己，这简直是一种奇迹，
神明为这种奇迹取了一个名字，叫做恋爱。
How it feels when you are loved by the one you love? How could it be like?
If you want to answer it immediately, you shall know how happy you are.
被自己所爱的人深爱着是什么样的感觉呢？会是什么样子呢？
想要立刻回答的人，你要知道自己是多么幸福。
Hope and trust is the tail of a lizard, which can reproduce even after being cut off.
希望和信任是蜥蜴的尾巴，即使被切断，但它们还会再长出来。
Do you think that the sourest feeling is to be jealous?
No, the sourest thing is that you have no rights to be jealous.
That’s the sourest thing.
你以为最酸的感觉是吃醋吗？不是的，最酸溜溜的感觉是没权吃醋，
根本就轮不到你吃醋，那才是…
To lost in something you love is better than to win in something you hate.
宁可失败在你喜欢的事情上，也不要成功在你所憎恶的事情上。
When every love comes to the end, if you look back,
you will find flowers and sorrows, but it’s always beautiful.
每段爱情在走向终结时，倒带回去，
一路上或花草鲜美，或落英缤纷，而最初总是倾心的。
I know that love shall not be compared, but I still used to complaining what he is lack of.
我知道感情不能拿来比较，但无意中还是习惯抱怨他所缺少的。
Never frown, even when you are sad,
because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容
。
Love is an impossible meeting.
For example, I am a bird flying in sky,
you are a leopard in forest. We just fall in love accidentally.
缘分是不可能的相遇。比如我是空中的鸟，你是林中的豹，只是我们碰巧相爱。
When someone abandons you, it is him that gets loss
because he lost someone who truly loves him
but you just lost one who doesn’t love you.
当你认为被抛弃的时候，受损失的其实是对方：
因为他失去了一个真正喜欢他的人，而你只不过少了一个不喜欢你…
The so-called turning-around is that you not only miss
the sun in day time but also the stars at night.
所谓的回头，只不过是丢掉了白天的太阳之后，又错过了夜晚的星星。
Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to,
doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.
爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。
Good love makes you see the whole world from one person
while bad love makes you abandon the whole world for one person.
好的爱情是你通过一个人看到整个世界，坏的爱情是你为了一个人舍弃世界。
Sometimes, I just wonder, we are from different waters,
although I admire your world, I will be drowned if I get close to you.
有时候我会想，我们是不同水域的动物，
虽然我很羡慕你那个世界的美丽，但是浅水区的我一走近，就会被深水淹死。
Why to ask so much when you are in love?
The mature never ask the past,

and the open-minded never ask the future.

原来爱情的世界很小，小到三个人就挤到窒息。

You shouldn't be inside my mind.
Everytime you walk away，You take my smile away
But I have no reason to make you stay
Every promise you have made，There's nothing could replace
I hesitate， if you were the right one who came late
I try to mend， I feel so ashamed，You shouldn't be inside my mind
But I'm so confused
I always think of you
What it makes to miss you so?，He's the one I should have hold
But I can't block you out of my soul，I don't wanna let you go
What it makes to miss you so?，When you're gone， I couldn't find my rainbow
But I can't leave him alone in sorrow，I have to let you go
Every little thing you say，and everything we taste
They are something could never be erased
Everything you dedicate，There's nothing could replace
I hesitate' if you were the right one who came late
I try to mend' I feel so ashamed，You shouldn't be inside my mind
But I'm so confused
I always think of you
What it makes to miss you so?，He's the one I should have hold
But I can't block you out of my soul，I don't wanna let you go
What it makes to miss you so?，When you're gone，I couldn't find my rainbow
But I can't leave him alone in sorrow，I have to let you go
If he didn't ever came into my life，then I'll take no regret
But I don't dare
he'll be so sad
Miss you so，He's the one I should have hold，I can't block you out of my soul，I don't wanna let you go
Miss you so，When you're gone，I couldn't find my rainbow
But I can't leave him alone in sorrow
I have to let you go
But I have no reason to make you stay

Miss you so，When you're gone，I couldn't find my rainbow
But I can't leave him alone in sorrow
I have to let you go
When you told me you loved me .
Once
Doesn't mean anything to me
Come
Show me the meaning of complete
Where
Did our love go wrong
Once we were so strong
How can I go on?
When you told me you loved me
Did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
A dream didn't turn out right
When you let me believe that you weren't complete
Without me by your side
how could I know
That you would go
That you would run
Baby, I thought you were the one
Why
Can't I just leave it all behind
I
Felt passion so bright that I was blind
Then
Something made me weak
Talking in my sleep
Baby, I'm in so deep and you know I believed
When you told me you loved me
Did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
A dream didn't turn out right
When you let me believe that you weren't complete
Without me by your side
how could I know
That you would go
That you would run
Baby, I thought you were the one
Your lips
Your face
Something that time just can't erase
Find my heart
Could break
All over again
When you told me you loved me
Did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
A dream didn't turn out right
When you let me believe that you weren't complete
Without me by your side
how could I know
That you would go
That you would run
Baby, I thought you were the one
Doesn't mean anything to me
Come
Show me the meaning of complete
Where
Did our love go wrong
Once we were so strong
How can I go on?
When you told me you loved me
Did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
A dream didn't turn out right
When you let me believe that you weren't complete

That you would go
That you would run
Baby, I thought you were the one
