Demis Roussos - Never Say Goodbye Again

ask me anything about food

Hi friends, If anyone wants to ask me any questions please do  and I will answer you as fast as I can.

tears

wishing my hands were invisible to wipe untouchable tears
wishing if I had wings to fly around you without fears
whispering you are not alone, I love you in your ears 

sorrow

there are times when silence is the best reaction , when words are not enough to spell your feelings of sorrow 

don't be sad

 Don"t be sad If you can"t see people you love with your eyes anymore, try seeing them with your heart this way you will always be together.
