It's Over

It's over
I'm letting you
       go now....
       of everything

The anger
The guilt
The questions
       that will...
       remain unanswer

I'm letting go
of the memories
we shared
       and the future....
       that was promised
       that will never
       be experienced

I'm letting go
       of you....

I have no reason
to hold on to you....
       to try would be in vain
       for it....

Would only be me
that was hurt in the end

So,

I'll say
goodbye to you....
      with a smile,
      a smile so you will
      never see....
      that shattered
      remains of
      my broken heart

There's always
one last thought
      of you before
      I go to sleep....

And, it is that
I still adore you....
      I love you more than
      a friend can show

As time,
passes me by....
     you will fade
     away....
     and all that
     will remain is nothing

My heart will be
sewn back
     together by the
     thread of time....

Waiting for the
next guy to come....
     and tear it apart

     again....

It will be like
you never
     existed....
     that I never knew you

All because....
I'm letting you
    go now....

Thank you

7 Dont's After a Meal

Here is the 7 facts that should not be done after a meal:

Ø  Don't smoke - Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of   cancer is higher).  

                                                                                      

Ø  Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal. 

                                      

Ø  Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid.This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.

     

Ø  Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted &blocked.

                                            

Ø  Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease.  This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.

                                                                                                                                             

Ø  Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.

                                                                                                                            

Ø  Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
