Patient Google

A close friend's boyfriend asked me for advice after they fought and she wasn't willing to talk to him. I told him to write (not type) her a poem, or a letter. Suggested him to write it in hindi to make it special and use Google Translate for the same. Here's an excerpt from the letter:

(He starts well, I'm all impressed and feeling happy for my friend -- and then...)

"...you make an attempt to make me feel better when we're done quarreling. You are a very patient man, and I thank you for that. I don't ever want to take advantage of your patience, not ever."

And if the boyfriend's copy-paste wasn't enough, Google translates it to:

"...प्रयास मुझे बेहतर महसूस करने के लिए. आप एक बहुत ही रोगी आदमी हैं, और मैं उस के लिए धन्यवाद. मैं नहीं कभी आपके धैर्य, नहीं कभी का लाभ उठाना चाहते हो. मुझे लगता है कि मैं ऊपर एक बहुत प्रतिक्रिया पता है, और मैं माफी चाहता हूँ."

I couldn't give him any feedback regarding the letter since I couldn't stop laughing!

Update: The letter worked! Obviously, the edited version. He he he!

I sometimes feel I'm powerful than you.
But then you set me right,
when you make me go weak in the knees.

I sometimes feel I have all the answers...
But then you say something so nice,
that I forget words ever existed.

I sometimes feel I know my way around.
But then you wrap me in your arms,
and I feel lost, and finally found.

I sometimes feel I can never cry.
But then you go away,
and I miss you - tears come, and pass me by.

I sometimes feel no one could love me the way you do.
And this feeling...
This feeling just grows stronger,
and feels so beautiful each passing day!
