  For all you people, who think they're alone, remember you're watched over by sun, given light by moon, provided peace by all those beautiful stars and calmed by nature. You... are not alone... -Crystall    Dear Guardian Angel, [Guardian angel : a spirit that is thought to watch over and protect a person or place. ] I know we haven’t met yet.

Every time. ‘Cuz you’d know that after all of that, in the end, I’d need your shoulder to bawl my eyes out. I know you’d handle all my mistakes without judging me even

Often, we hear our parents mentioning, about how we should respect our elders, teachers, and fellow mates. Boys may actually hear an element more, about, how to respect girls.
