Find a guy :)

For all you gals there : Find a guy who


-Calls you beautiful instead of hot.

-Calls you back when you hang on him.

-Lies under the stars and listens to your heartbeat.

-Stays awake just to see you sleep.

-Kisses your forehead.

-Wants to show you off to the world.

-Holds your hand in front of his friends.

-Thinks you are pretty without makeup.

-Tells you how much he cares and how lucky he is to get you.

-Tells his friends "That's Her "!!

Tujhse naraz nahi zindagi :(


I'm not upset with you, Oh Life, I'm astonished.
I'm distressed by your innocent questions.
I never expected that I would have to bear agony in order to live;
That if I smile, then I would incur the debt of smiling.
When I smile, it feels like this debt has been placed on my lips.
Today if my eyes fill up, the tears will rain down.
Who knows, my eyes might thirst for these tomorrow.
Don't know when it disappeared, where I misplaced it,
That one tear I had hidden away.
