&ldquo;You can shed tears that she is gone, <br /> or you can smile because she has lived.<br /> You can close your eyes and pray that she&#039;ll come back,<br /> or you can open your eyes and see all she&#039;s left.<br /> Your heart can be empty because you can&#039;t see her,<br /> or you can be full of the love you shared.<br /> You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, <br /> or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.<br /> You can remember her only that she is gone,<br /> or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.<br /> You can cry and close your mind, <br /> be empty and turn your back.<br /> Or you can do what she&#039;d want:<br /> smile, open your eyes, love and go on.&rdquo;<br /> -David Harkins

If you treat me like a princess, I&#039;ll treat you like a prince.<br /> If you treat me like a game, I&#039;ll show you how it&#039;s played.
