One day, love and friendship met.
Love asked,
"Why do you exist when I already exist?"
Friendship smiled and said,
"To put a smile where you leave tears."


The Arrow And The Song
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

well, what i have in mind about this arrow stuff is that, in life, we tend to lose someone, not because we're not good enough for them, but for the purpose of meeting someone, much better than them...
