You First Believed lyrics - Hoku

How many times did I pray you'd find me...
How many wishes on a star,
Gazing off into the dark
Dreaming I'd see your face
Safe at home unafraid,
Captured in your embrace.

So many times when my heart was broken,
Visions of you would keep me strong.
You were with me all along,
Guiding my every step.
You are all that I am
And I'll never forget.

It was you, who first believed
In all that I was made to be.
It was you, looking in my eyes.
You held my hand and showed me life.
And I've never been the same,
Since you first believed.

There were times when I thought I'd lost you,
Fearing forever was a dream.
But it wasn't what it seemed,
Placing your hand in mine,
You could see in the dark,
You were guiding my heart.

It was you, who first believed
In all that I was made to be.
It was you, looking in my eyes.
You held my hand and showed me life.
And I've never been the same,
Since you first believed.

It was you, who first believed
In all that I was made to be.
It was you, looking in my eyes.
You held my hand and you showed me life.
And I've never been the same,
Since you first believed.

How many times did I pray you'd find me...

How many wishes on a star...

The End...

Every ending for me is somewhat sad. But I guess everything has an end. If the experience we had in the past is not good, we don't need to look back on it. We just have to move forward and be glad that it came to an end. Easy to say but hard to do. But we must do it.

I may be feeling sad today but I hope that this too shall pass. I pray that God will give me strength. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I should not regret whatever choices I've made in the past. I should be thankful for it because it made me stronger and wiser today.

I don't know what's in store for me. I hope that everything will fall into the right place at the right time...

Men are from Mars...

Today, a friend of mine came up to me. She needs me badly. She was crying uncontrollably. Her boyfriend of eight years broke up with her without reason at all. Imagine how long they've been together? And just like that he broke up with her? She was left hanging. All along she thought that everything was fine. Then he just dropped the bomb. He does not want to have the relationship anymore. He does not feel that he loves her anymore. I am just wondering what is love right now. For me, I think love is more than a feeling. Sometimes you don't feel it but still you keep the relationship because you want it. It is a decision you do everyday. To stay in the relationship and the love will just flows back in.

I just wondered why guys are like that? When they decided to end up a relationship they just do it that fast. Are they thinking about their actions? Are they that insensitive? She was told that he needed space. What's that? An excuse of breaking up? Did he not think of all the years they've been together? She was there on his lowest points and now that he is up, he gradually changes his mind?

I don't really know what's happening between the two of them. But still, it's a shocking news. Sometimes, boys are hard to understand. They sometimes think of themselves more. They just do whatever they want to do. That is why we women should not rely on them one hundred percent. We should still be independent and can stand on our own. We should not stop and give up our dreams for them because they could ruin our lives just like that. They could turn around and leave us behind.

Still, don't get me wrong. I still believe in love and happy ever after. I guess that if you are not meant to be, these things happen. It is just unfair sometimes. But life is like that. There are reasons behind all of these. We may not understand it now but the time will come that all our questions will be answered. We just have to keep on going and believe that someday the right love will finally come our way.

To my friend, I will be here. I will accompany you on these dark days of your life. Cheer up!
