i couldnt establish any simple laws of love. im lost in the obsurity of imagination, any more than the eye can ascertain the form of the objects that could only glimmer through the dimness of the windy night.

If I could have just one wish,I would wish to wake up everydayto the sound of your breath on my neck,the warmth of your lips on my cheek,the touch of your fingers on my skin,and the feel of your heart beating with mine...Knowing that I could never find that feelingwith anyone other than you.

Holland U21 1 England U21 1 (aet, Holland win 13-12 on penalties)

There was once a school of thought that winning or losing was not important at Under-21 level. Try telling that to Stuart Pearce and his shattered players. Pearce is no stranger to losing semi-finals. Nor is he unfamiliar with having his heart broken by penalty shoot-outs. Never before, has the former England captain experienced anything like this.

It took 3 hours and 32 penalties to separate England and Holland. Such drama this compact stadium in Holland can never have witnessed before. England did not deserve to win.Holland were technically more gifted and enjoyed the vast majority of the possession and the attempts on goal. But there is something about the nature of this defeat that will make many Englishmen proud.

Too often the blood and thunder nature of our football is denigrated. Too often the typically English qualities of hard work, dedication and commitment are used as sticks with which to beat our players. yesterday those qualities almost got England through. That they came so close is what makes it so hard to take. That is why Steve McClaren, encountered such a scene of devastation in the away dressing room as he went to offer his congratulations and his condolences to young players he will one day hope to pick himself.

And that is why Pearce gathered his players close to him as the Dutch frolicked in front of their ecstatic supporters and told them that this had been the proudest moment of his career.
Pearce will mean that. And his sentiments are easy to understand. England had barely a fit man standing when the shoot-out began. Down to 10 men early in extra-time after an injury to the excellent Nedum Onuoha, England were also carrying a passenger in Steven Taylor.
With Pearce using all three substitutes in trying to defend the 1-0 lead given him by Leroy Lita in the 39th minute, Taylor was forced to play on through extra time with a seriously damaged ankle.

He even managed to score a penalty in the shoot-out while standing virtually on one leg. Add that story of courage to those involving Mark Noble, James Milner and Nigel Reo- Coker and the scale of this remarkable effort becomes clear. Even those players who do not go on to make it with England at senior level will take something from this night.

Extra-time brought little drama and as the dust settled last night it was hard to not to wonder where David Bentley and Gabriel Agbonlahor were last night. Having chosen not to be part of Pearce’s squad, perhaps they do not care that they missed out. But they really should care.
Because nights like this can shape careers, in all the right ways. Of the 24 players originally selected for this tournament by Pearce, those two remain the only losers.

feelings don lie.they are e purest form of truth.

jus now i was looking at something and suddenly it invoke some of my feelings. i felt full of regrets for hiding my feelings for e one i really like. somehow i still kinda hav feelings for her. remembering e happy times tat she gave me. but somehow i duno how she felt for me at tat time. too much was left unspoken too much left unsaid.

when once estrangement has arisen between those who truly love each other, everything seems to widen the breach. once e feeling is gone, i would do anything for her except to love her wholeheartedly again.

these few words tat mean so much to a girl..these words tat seem so magical. all gone in a moment of folly
