i am a believer

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This romanticguy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his futuredoesn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and would never comeback. She also told him that she could not visualize any future for both ofthem, so they went their own ways there and then... Heartbroken, the guy pined. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hardday and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something of himself. Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy set up his owncompany ... You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy wasdriving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking tosome destination. Even with the umbrella, they were drenched. It didn't take him long to realizethey were his former girl's parents. Wanting to get back at them, he drove slowly past the couple, wanting them tospot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the sameany more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it! But what he saw next confused him, the couple were walkingtowards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed... Then he sawhis girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever looking at him from hertombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her... Her parents saw him. He asked them how this had happened. They explained, shedid not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed thathe would make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... thereforeshe had chosen to leave him. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't meanthey don't love you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put hispaper cranes beside her, because, if the day came when fate brought him to heragain...he could take some of those back with him... Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may escapebut what's in your heart will remain forever. The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting rightbeside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her everagain.........hope you understand. Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you, for youmight wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing toyou.
