写给未来男朋友的英英语语作文
导读：淅淅淅……外面正下着毛毛细雨，天朦朦胧胧，远处已被一层层雾水笼罩着……　　我习惯性地早早起了床，站到我家附近你的大操场上，不同的的是我手中多了一把带花边的粉红色雨伞。小学的时候，由于很久都不能上一节体育课，就算在跑步的时候，我们班的女生都跑

淅淅淅……外面正下着毛毛细雨，天朦朦胧胧，远处已被一层层雾水笼罩着……

　　我习惯性地早早起了床，站到我家附近你的大操场上，不同的的是我手中多了一把带花边的粉红色雨伞。小学的时候，由于很久都不能上一节体育课，就算在跑步的时候，我们班的女生都跑得很慢，所以我没有什么介意的。可上了初中，同班同学跑步都很快，每次跑后几名的女生中，我总是占了其中一名，由于自尊心的问题，迫使我每天早晨都早早地起了床，到操场去跑步。我曾对自己发过誓言：无论遇到多大的困难，我都不会放弃——坚持去跑步。我懦弱地站在跑道上望着毛毛细雨，听着雨水打到雨伞发出的微弱而又清脆的声音。四周很静很静，仿佛是老天特意为我安排一个这样寂静的环境给我思考。我开始运转脑细胞，想着：“该不该跑呢？如果冒着雨跑步，我会生病的，我怕病，因为药很苦，打针很痛，而且我还不知道我是否有勇气面对着雨跑步，5圈啊！一个可怕的数字，我真的有毅力跑完这5圈吗？5圈对于一个运动员来说算什么，可是对于我——一个懦弱的女孩来说，可是难上加难啊！但是我真的要违背自己曾经用坚定的语气对老天发起的誓言吗？我不能做到，因为老天会惩罚我的。再加上我一向是一个自尊心较强和诚实守信的孩子，我无法面对老师眼里的失望，父母严重的悲哀，出自同学口中的叹气。我无法面对那一切，老天给我的这个惩罚以免太深了。我不能违背自己曾经诺下的誓言。’’

夏威夷风情

For most of us, Hawaii begins to weave her spell with some little glimmer of awareness Golden beaches and golden people Sun, sand, sea, and surf And somewhere between the blue skies and the palm trees we're hooked

夏威夷岛是世界上最美丽的地方之一。这里天气晴朗，气温整年在华氏60—90度之间变化。夏天稍暖，冬天稍凉，但对于某些人来说每天都是晒太阳的好日子。

The environment is friendly The physical beauty of Hawaii is almost unparalleled Majestic mountains were created millions of years ago by volcanic activity that thrust these islands three miles from the ocean floor Wave action across endless eons of time created coral reefs, and then battered and broke them to create miles of white sand beach

环境很舒适。夏威夷的自然美几乎是无与伦比的。几百万年前的火山活动将这些岛屿从海底三英里的地方挤推，形成了雄伟的高山。数亿年来，海浪翻滚汹涌，形成了珊瑚礁。之后海浪拍打着珊瑚礁，珊瑚礁被打碎了，形成了几英里长的白沙滩。

　七年级英语小短文：Valentine's Day

情人节

February 14th is a complicated but interesting holiday First of all, Valentine's Day is not a holiday from work No one gets a day off On Valentine's Day people ususlly send romantic cards to someone they love or want to be loved by The cards are called "valentines" They are very colourful, often decorated with hearts, flowers or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside The basic message of the verse is always "Be My Valentine", "Be My Sweet Heart" or "Lover"

2月14日是一个复杂而又有趣的节日。首先，情人节不是一个休假日。没人放假。在情人节这一天，人们爱谁或想得到谁的爱，就可给那个人寄去充满浪漫情趣的卡片。这种卡片叫“情人卡”。情人卡色彩鲜艳，常装饰有心、花或鸟，里面还印有幽默或感伤性的诗句。这些诗句传递的基本信息总是“做我的情人吧”、“做我甜蜜的心上人或情人吧”。

One of the symbols of StValentine's Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid Cupid is often printed on the card, who is winged infant without wearing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart He would shoot an arrow of love into a person's heart to make the person fall in love immediately, maybe with the first person to come along Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together So on February 14th not only do we have picture of the Christian StValentine but we also have pitures of the non-Christian Cupid, the Roman god of love

情人节的标志之一是罗马爱神——丘比特。丘比特经常被印在卡片上，他是一个赤身裸体、长有翅膀的婴儿，手里拿着箭，摆出一副要射心的姿势。他把爱之箭射中一个人的心，这个人会很快坠入爱河，可能是和他(她)第一个见到的人。有时候，一支箭会射中两颗心，把它们穿在一起。所以在2月14日，我们不仅有基督的“圣·瓦伦登”的画像，还有非基督的罗马爱神丘比特的画像。

But it is from the Christians that we get the stories about Valentine's Day that most people have come to believe One story is about a Christian man whose name sounded something like "Valentine" He lived around 250 AD At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever Christian couples came to Valentine to be married So Valentine would marry them in a Christian way He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by making on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison And the leaves were shaped like a heart

大多数人相信的情人节的 故事 来源于基督教。其中有个故事提到，有一个__的名字听起来像“瓦伦登”。他大约生活在公元前250年。那时罗马皇帝克劳狄乌斯禁止罗马士兵以任何借口结婚。信奉基督教的夫妇就去找“瓦伦登”主持结婚。“瓦伦登”以基督教方式为他们秘密举行婚礼，后来被罗马皇帝发现送进监狱。 传说 他在叶子上做标记给他朋友传递信息，然后把叶子扔出监狱的窗外。这些叶子的形状是心形的。

　七年级英语小短文：Athens

雅典

Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, and has a long history and cultural background The history of Athens begins more than 3,000 years ago when during the prehistoric times its first inhabitants created their first settlement on the rock of the Acropolis

奥运会的诞生地希腊，有着悠久的历史和文化背景。希腊历史起源于3，000多年前的史前时期，希腊先民的第一个居住点就建在雅典卫城的巨石上。

During thousands of years, Athens went through times of glory and times of decline Finally it became the capital of Greece in 1834 mostly for its location and historical importance Since then Athens grew to the city we know today, an important financial European capital

此后的几千年间，雅典经历了辉煌的时期，也见证了衰败的历史。最后，因其优越的地理位置和重要的历史价值，雅典在1834年成为希腊的首都。之后，雅典逐渐成长为今天我们所认识的这座城市——重要的欧洲金融中心。

The historical centre of Athens is the most important area of the city for the thousands of tourists who are visiting the Greek capital in order to admire the shrine of Democracy, the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the museums and monuments and theatres from the glorious past of Athens

对于成千上万的游客来说，雅典城最重要的区域是它的历史中心。在这里，他们可以瞻仰民主的圣地， 拜访 卫城、帕台农神庙，还有尽显希腊辉煌历史的各种博物馆、纪念碑和剧场。

Since the distances to most of the main sights of Athens are not long, walking is a good idea and a good way to get to know Athens Athens has a lot of attractions that someone will need at least one week or more to explore

雅典城中的主要景点都相距不远，步行不失为了解这座城市的一种好想法和好 方法 。雅典有如此多的名胜古迹，人们至少需要一周的时间来游览。

There are many museums in Athens like the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, one of the most important museums in the world And, of course, don't forget the beaches and the famous nightlife of Athens equivalent with the nightlife of Paris and London

城中有很很多的博物馆，比如，雅典国家考古博物馆，它是世界上最重要的博物馆之一。当然，千万不要忘记美丽的沙滩，还有著名的雅典夜生活，它绝不亚于巴黎和伦敦。

3 风和太阳(The Wind And The Sun)

One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can”

“We will see about that,” said the sun “I will let you try first”

So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself

“I give up,” said the wind at last “I cannot get his cloak off” Then the sun tried He shone as hard as he could The man soon became hot and took off his cloak

(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来)

(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试)

(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧)

(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来”然后由太阳试试看他尽可能地晒他不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了)

After school is over, I return home We usually have supper at seven o’clock

Then I begin to do my homework I want to finish it before I go to bed

你价意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。

然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。

Secondly, happiness consists in contentment A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress

无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。

8 BOOKS 书籍

As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books

Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books It is true that we can derive benefits from good books However, bad books will do us more harm than good

如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

9 A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 乡村游记

One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country She bade me take good care of him

While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful)

When we felt tired, we returned home We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door

有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。

当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲，风景实十分美丽。

当我们感觉到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。

10 BE PATRIOTIC 要爱国

It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is) In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country) I consider this an unchangeable truth

How can a student love his country (be patriotic) I find my answer very simple and clear He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful

要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。

一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。

11 THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光

An English proverb says that time is money I consider it (this) wrong Why Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway) For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money

Many people do not know the value of time It (this) is indeed a great pity We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life

英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。

许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。

12 Love Your Life 热爱生活

However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard namesIt is not so bad as you areIt looks poorest when you are richestThe fault-finder will find faults in paradiseLove your life,poor as it isYou may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-houseThe setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the springI do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palaceThe town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of anyMay be they are simply great enough to receive without misgivingMost think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest meanswhich should be more disreputableCultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sageDo not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to themThings do not change;we changeSell your clothes and keep your thoughts

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。

14 MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日

The tea party began at half past six There were cold drinks and refreshments We ate, talked and laughed We felt that we were the happiest men in the world

Time passed quickly In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another

15 After setting the note ablaze he dropped it into an ashtray and watched it burn For a time the names cast moving shadows on the walls of the darkened room, then they nickered and died out The colonel dropped the cigarette to the floor and ground it out with his heel, then clutched the photograph to his breast, removed a pistol from his pocket, placed the barrel in his mouth and pulled the trigger In the ashtray a small portion of the note remained Where it had been wetted by his tear it had failed to bum, and on that scrap of paper were the words "died yesterday"

他点燃了字条，将它扔进了烟灰缸中，看着它慢慢地燃烧起来。在火苗的映衬下，这间漆黑的屋子里的四壁一时变得影影绰绰。不一会儿，火苗成了星星点点，渐渐地熄灭了。上校把香烟扔在了地板上，用后脚跟碾灭，随后抓起照片放在自己的胸前。他从衣兜中掏出了一把手枪，将枪筒放进自己的嘴中，接着扣动扳机。在烟灰缸中还残留着一小片字条，由于被上校的泪水浸湿而未能燃尽。在这块残片上有这样几个字“昨天去世”。

欧亨利的《麦琪的礼物》

THE GIFT OF THE MAGI

by O Henry

One dollar and eighty-seven cents That was all And sixty cents of it was in pennies Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied Three times Della counted it One dollar and eighty- seven cents And the next day would be Christmas

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl So Della did it Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating

While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home A furnished flat at $8 per week It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad

In the vestibule below was a letter-box into which no letter would go, and an electric button from which no mortal finger could coax a ring Also appertaining thereunto was a card bearing the name "Mr James Dillingham Young"

The "Dillingham" had been flung to the breeze during a former period of prosperity when its possessor was being paid $30 per week Now, when the income was shrunk to $20, though, they were thinking seriously of contracting to a modest and unassuming D But whenever Mr James Dillingham Young came home and reached his flat above he was called "Jim" and greatly hugged by Mrs James Dillingham Young, already introduced to you as Della Which is all very good

Della finished her cry and attended to her cheeks with the powder rag She stood by the window and looked out dully at a gray cat walking a gray fence in a gray backyard Tomorrow would be Christmas Day, and she had only $187 with which to buy Jim a present She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result Twenty dollars a week doesn't go far Expenses had been greater than she had calculated They always are Only $187 to buy a present for Jim Her Jim Many a happy hour she had spent planning for something nice for him Something fine and rare and sterling--something just a little bit near to being worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim

There was a pier-glass between the windows of the room Perhaps you have seen a pier-glass in an $8 flat A very thin and very agile person may, by observing his reflection in a rapid sequence of longitudinal strips, obtain a fairly accurate conception of his looks Della, being slender, had mastered the art

Suddenly she whirled from the window and stood before the glass her eyes were shining brilliantly, but her face had lost its color within twenty seconds Rapidly she pulled down her hair and let it fall to its full length

Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's The other was Della's hair Had the queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his treasures piled up in the basement, Jim would have pulled out his watch every time he passed, just to see him pluck at his beard from envy

So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her And then she did it up again nervously and quickly Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet

On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street

Where she stopped the sign read: "Mne Sofronie Hair Goods of All Kinds" One flight up Della ran, and collected herself, panting Madame, large, too white, chilly, hardly looked the "Sofronie"

"Will you buy my hair" asked Della

"I buy hair," said Madame "Take yer hat off and let's have a sight at the looks of it"

Down rippled the brown cascade

"Twenty dollars," said Madame, lifting the mass with a practised hand

"Give it to me quick," said Della

Oh, and the next two hours tripped by on rosy wings Forget the hashed metaphor She was ransacking the stores for Jim's present

She found it at last It surely had been made for Jim and no one else There was no other like it in any of the stores, and she had turned all of them inside out It was a platinum fob chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation--as all good things should do It was even worthy of The Watch As soon as she saw it she knew that it must be Jim's It was like him Quietness and value--the description applied to both Twenty-one dollars they took from her for it, and she hurried home with the 87 cents With that chain on his watch Jim might be properly anxious about the time in any company Grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain

When Della reached home her intoxication gave way a little to prudence and reason She got out her curling irons and lighted the gas and went to work repairing the ravages made by generosity added to love Which is always a tremendous task, dear friends--a mammoth task

Within forty minutes her head was covered with tiny, close-lying curls that made her look wonderfully like a truant schoolboy She looked at her reflection in the mirror long, carefully, and critically

"If Jim doesn't kill me," she said to herself, "before he takes a second look at me, he'll say I look like a Coney Island chorus girl But what could I do--oh! what could I do with a dollar and eighty- seven cents"

At 7 o'clock the coffee was made and the frying-pan was on the back of the stove hot and ready to cook the chops

Jim was never late Della doubled the fob chain in her hand and sat on the corner of the table near the door that he always entered Then she heard his step on the stair away down on the first flight, and she turned white for just a moment She had a habit for saying little silent prayer about the simplest everyday things, and now she whispered: "Please God, make him think I am still pretty"

The door opened and Jim stepped in and closed it He looked thin and very serious Poor fellow, he was only twenty-two--and to be burdened with a family! He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves

Jim stopped inside the door, as immovable as a setter at the scent of quail His eyes were fixed upon Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read, and it terrified her It was not anger, nor surprise, nor disapproval, nor horror, nor any of the sentiments that she had been prepared for He simply stared at her fixedly with that peculiar expression on his face

Della wriggled off the table and went for him

"Jim, darling," she cried, "don't look at me that way I had my hair cut off and sold because I couldn't have lived through Christmas without giving you a present It'll grow out again--you won't mind, will you I just had to do it My hair grows awfully fast Say `Merry Christmas!' Jim, and let's be happy You don't know what a nice-- what a beautiful, nice gift I've got for you"

"You've cut off your hair" asked Jim, laboriously, as if he had not arrived at that patent fact yet even after the hardest mental labor

"Cut it off and sold it," said Della "Don't you like me just as well, anyhow I'm me without my hair, ain't I"

Jim looked about the room curiously

"You say your hair is gone" he said, with an air almost of idiocy

"You needn't look for it," said Della "It's sold, I tell you--sold and gone, too It's Christmas Eve, boy Be good to me, for it went for you Maybe the hairs of my head were numbered," she went on with sudden serious sweetness, "but nobody could ever count my love for you Shall I put the chops on, Jim"

Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake He enfolded his Della For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the other direction Eight dollars a week or a million a year--what is the difference A mathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them This dark assertion will be illuminated later on

Jim drew a package from his overcoat pocket and threw it upon the table

"Don't make any mistake, Dell," he said, "about me I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while at first"

White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat

For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim!"

And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!"

Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit

"Isn't it a dandy, Jim I hunted all over town to find it You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now Give me your watch I want to see how it looks on it"

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled

"Dell," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while They're too nice to use just at present I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs And now suppose you put the chops on"

The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger They invented the art of giving Christmas presents Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest Everywhere they are wisest They are the magi

精简不就是从中截取一两段嘛，别偷懒，把原文意思理解透了还怕什么。实在看不懂就中文，这应该是英语四级的水平。

您好：Some words I can say here

Some things can not let people know

When we broke up, at least six months I haven't returned any of God, summon up the courage to leave the city, exchanges the new boyfriend, but still trapped in the memories

Know that you have a girlfriend, I cry with a smile, laugh and cry, crying is sad, smile because their stupid

I love you, breaking up after I am reluctant to admit that, with all around the friends all say that I walked out, I no longer, but no one time, when the dead of night, a cigarette burn all my thoughts of you, I was now so trust so dependent on people is the guardian of another a man has been almost two years, my mood is still not improved, every little thing can let my thoughts go back to the past

I love you, I still love you, I really, ha ha, you last month had been married, only wish you happiness
