Thank you very much. To tell you the truth I haven't actually read every one you have posted. I will say the ones that I have read I have liked, and that I will make time to go back and read the rest.
 
Come
As you are
As you were
As I want you to be

Don't be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As an old memoria
