hello all, i hope all is well with everyone!!

this is the most difficult time of the yearrrr...with all the holidays just around the corner [Eid, Christmas, etc..], it makes it more difficult and more depressing to be away from our loved ones... :(

my husband and i got married on the second day of Eid last year....we thought we'd be together by our first anniversary... =( unfortunately not... :crying:

anyway, so i figured i'm not the only one that's dealing with this and we could help each other get through this tough time.. :(

take care! :)

happy holidays everyone!

all the best!!..

::There’s a laugh in my eyes::

There’s a waltz in my walk

And it’s been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that’s new.. it’s you

‘Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it’s burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it’s something new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

The world’s a different place

Where nothing’s too hard to say

And nothing’s too hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that’s new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

My life, my life

Ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There’s only one thing I want (aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are

For everything you do

For all that you’ve done

Just for showing me the truth
