My Friend and Mine!

#!/usr/bin/perl

IN BEACH:
listen (seawaves, light arrangements);
open yourself, wide;
join (you, me),
connect (we,together),
if(like me)
tell me the I*love*you.
else say lie that "TELL U LATER"
do something if distressed;
@dawn, dance;
@evening, sing;

IN HOME:

read (books,$poems,stories) until peaceful of mind;
study if able;
write me if-you-think me;
sort your feelings, reset goals, seek (friends, family, anyone);
do*not*die (like this)
if sin abounds;

AT LAST

keys (hidden), open (locks, doors), tell secrets;
do not, I-beg-you, close them, yet.
accept (yourself, changes),
bind (grief, despair);
require truth, goodness if-you-will, each moment;
select (always), length(good days)

UR THOUGHTS

if(like this)
reply me
else
be cool my dear friend
