03经典背诵
I Missed You Today今天我想你
I missed you today； we couldn't be together，and I passed the time remembering happy yesterdays spent with you，and anticipating many wonderful tomorrows.
I missed your smile； that subtle yet unmistakable expression of your love that melts away my doubts and fears with its warm，unspoken reassurance，and at the same time gives me a feeling of the happiness and security which only your deep and earnest love can give me.
I missed your touch； the gentle caresses that warm and sooth like nothing else I know.
I missed your embrace； the loving arms that hold me still and let the love flow freely and silently between us.
I missed you today，because you are half of all I am，and though I could live my life alone，life now for me is the constant sharing of our thought and feelings，and the unselfish sharing of all our lives' experiences.
今天我想你，是因为我们没有在一起。回忆着和你共同度过的那些昨天，快乐无比；也期盼更多的明天，美好甜蜜。
想念你的笑，那是你内心爱恋确定无疑的表露，虽然微妙。它以温馨无言的慰籍融释我心中的疑虑和恐惧，同时还令我感到你深厚而热切的爱是我幸福安全的保障。
想念你的触摸；温柔多情的爱抚，是那般温暖，那般轻柔，不知还有什么能让我如此享受。
想念你的拥抱；充满爱意的臂膀把我搂入怀中，让爱自由地无声地在我们之间涌流。
今天我想你，因为你已成为我的一半，难以分离。尽管我能够独自生活，但生活于我是永无止息地分享我们的所思所悟所感，无私地分享我们所经历的日日夜夜岁岁 年年……
