Croatian love poem Mi smo se sreli
"Mi smo se sreli na zvijezdi što se zove Zemlja. Naš put kroz vrijeme u ovaj čas (čas svijetli kao cilj) stoji za nama dalek, gotovo beskrajan, da smo već zaboravili naš početak odakle smo pošli. Sada stoji ruka u ruci, pogled u pogledu. Kroz naše ruke, i kroz naše poglede zagrlile su se naše duše. O kad se opet rastanemo i pođemo na naše tamne putove kroz beskraj, na kojoj ćemo se opet sresti zvijezdi? I hoće li pri novom susretu opet naše duše zadrhtati u tamnom sjećanju da bijasmo nekada ljudi koji su se ljubili na nekoj zvijezdi što se zove Zemlja?" A.B.Šimić

Croatian love poem summary
This poem is called "We met" and it is by Croatian poet Antun Branko Šimić. It is about two people who happened to meet on a star called the Earth. They forgot where they came from because that didn't matter anymore. Their hands and looks embraced and so did their souls. He is wondering on which star they'll meet again after they part (after they die). He is also wondering if their souls will thrill when they meet again in the memory of love they once had on a star that's called the Earth.

Sometimes love is so strong that it prevents us from seeing faults
Sometimes love is so strong that it prevents us from seeing faults. Andrea Zlatar, student at High school Bol Love is a feeling that can not be explained nor compared. It can mend every pain and heal every soul. It's funny how someone's look, touch and simple smile can make your day, can make you life. Love brightens up your worst day and is there to hold you when you're not feeling okay. Love makes you see all the colors of the world and hear its every melody and beat. It is warm, bright, tender and bitter-sweet. No matter who you are or where you come from we are all looking for the same thing. Love Lea Mihaić, student at High school Bol
