Poems from 'In Her Shoe' film

I Carry Your Heart With Me

I carry your heart with me 

(I carry it in my heart)

I am never without it 

(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

I fear no fate 

(for you are my fate, my sweet)

I want no world 

(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud 

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;

which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

 I carry your heart

(I carry it in my heart) 

E E Cummings

One Love

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant to travel.
None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

These are the two poems that touches my heart while watching the movie. And I got so emotional watching this movie. A movie that should be in one of your movie collections. Very meaningful. It's all about Love, Friendship, Family and Relationships. A role of a dyslexic girl played by Cameron Diaz; A lawyer and a protective sister played by Toni Collette. Two sisters that have nothing in common but their shoe size. I'll give this movie an A plus!

11 Hints for Life

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

I've Learned

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it

I've learned that it's not what you have in your live, but who you have in your life that counts

I've learned that no matter how much you care, some people just don't care back

I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help

I've learned that we have to meet a few wrong ones before we can appreciate the right one

I've learned to love and be loved

I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe

I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow over the longest distance and same goes for true love

I've learned that there are people, who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it

I've learned that you can keep going long after you think you can't

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved and the rest is up to them

I’ve learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn’t stop for your grief

I’ve learned that the people who you love and care the most about are the ones that always hurt your feelings.

If I Were...

If I were a memory I’d hold you there forever
Reminding you of the good times we shared together

If I were a smile on your face I would stay
Never to let sadness chase me too far away

If I were a teardrop I’d roll gently down from your eyes
Not to burn much but to mend your sweet cries

If I were a hand I’d want you to hold me in your own
Carry me through life even when I’m grown

If I were feet I would stay in line with you
So I could be with you in all that you do

If I were a shadow I would always follow
We’d face things together in all the tomorrows

If I were pain I’d stay far away from the start
To make sure you never felt me or I never broke your heart

If I were a song I’d be a sweet sound to your ears
To keep up your hopes and carry you through the years

If I were strength I’d give you my all
I’d hold you high and never let your fall

If I were your heart I’d be steady and true
I’d be there in every beat; staying strong for you

If I were the sun I’d shine down upon your face
Illuminate your smile and radiate through your grace

If I were a star I’d sparkle like your eyes
I would look upon your life and never stop my shine

I don’t know how good at those things I could be
I’m not any of them but this I want you to see

If I were a friend I couldn’t let you down
I’d never let you fall or walk away from me with a frown

If I were a friend I would hold your hand
I would be with you always, I hope you understand

If I were a friend I would give you my all
And though it’s not much, I’ll be there when you call

If I were a friend I’d be in every memory too
When you laughed, when you cried, I’d be with you

I CAN be these things, it’s not impossible to be a friend
I CAN be your best and I’ll be here till the end

If I were forever, you would be too
Together forever – me and you…

Nobody Knows It But Me

Nobody Knows it but me....Myself.

If they don't chase you when your walk away, keep walking girl!

Oh yeah.. That's what I'm doing now. Moving on. It is also part and parcel of life.
We become friends, then we fall in love, we fall out of love and move on.
Without looking back to what's left behind.
Although it hurts but it was once said that "to love is to let go, if it comes back then it's meant to be". Well, i do actually believe in the statement of "to love is to let go" but "if it comes back then it's meant to be"? What if the feelings are no longer there? and What if they have found someone else? Most importantly, what causes the relationship to fall apart in the first place?
But whatever it is, there must be a reasonable reasons for this to happen.
Yes, I'm moving on.
How i wish that i can take my heart out and placed it on the table and let it heal by itself. Then once it heals, place it back to where it belong. Your body is ok but your heart is not ok!
Relationship is not always bed of roses. We won't learn to appreciate a person until they walked out from your life. That's when it is already too late for them to start explaining for themselves.
Lesson learned.
Never take your partner for granted instead appreciate while they are still there for you.
And if you walked away and no one ever stops u,
Just keep walking.
Simply because it's completely over.

Oh yeah.. I used to have 1.. :)

“You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.”

And I love Him

And I loved him,

God knows how I loved him.

It wasn't love of course,

Even I can see that now that it was infatuation.

But at that time, it damn near killed me.

It's so passionate, so intense...

So painful that even years afterwards,

I'll still feel hurt when I hear his name.
