The Reason

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

love...
since we are on the topic on relationship, thought want to make use of the song "because i'm a girl" to illustrate some thoughts.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7zXe2fioco
=============================================
I just cant understand the hearts of men
they tell you they want you and then they leave you
this is the first time, you're special
I believed those words and I was so happy
You should have told me you didn't like me any more
but I couldn't see that and you just rushed me
although I will curse you I'll still miss you
Because I am a girl, to whom love is everything
i heard that if you give up things too easily
to a man, he will get bored with you
i don't think this is wrong
a girl says that she will never be fooled again
but she will fall in love again
you should have told me you didn't like me any more
but I couldn't see that and you just rushed me
although I will curse you I'll still miss you
Because I am a girl, to whom love is everything
[narration]
Hey babe
the pain
it's not enough to describe how i feel
we were so happy together
but I know now
I've been blind
you told me that you'd never let me down
whenever I needed you you'd always be here
I can forgive but I cant forget
even though you hurt me
I still love you
I still love you
Don't take advantage of a girl's willingness to do anything for love
and her caring instinct
U didn't know that to be born as a girl and to be loved was so hard
Although i will curse you i'll still miss you
Because I am a girl, to whom love is everything
although i will curse you i'll still miss you
Because I am a girl, to whom love is everything
=============================================
dont know how accurate is the translation, cuz seen many quite differing versions. but nonetheless, this song never fails to bring tears to my heart and eyes..
as we try to find our better half, always bear this in mind, it is a commitment. dont get into a relationship because you want to have a girlfriend or worse, sex. though my opinion of singaporean girls have changed drastically, but nonetheless, there are still angelic ones around. never ever break a person's heart. it hurt damn bad.. you wouldnt just cause pain, but a barrier and fear as well. i would say really must go out and just be pals with many different people. be friends and just friends. i dont think relationship should be a trial and error thing. commit into one when you really want something to bloom. it takes a lot of fate, courage and love to put 2 people together, even just boyfriend-girlfriend. these 2 person must really treasure each other, appreciate each others' presence and actions, for you wouldnt really know how much sacrifices the other party has to give in to merely put a smile on your face.
for 2 people to live their lives together is never easy. 2 different minds, 2 different souls. but 2 of you promised to beat your hearts as one. it takes a lot of effort and pride to compromise. but it's worthwhile. you need not win all the time. losing isnt wrong as well..
dont care if there are bastards around, who may seem to impress the girls better than you do, getting over-friendly with the ones you fancy, or even bedding some of them. it's okay.. then the girls are just too blind to notice your existance..
be sincere yet be bold at times. if you really fancy someone, and you know she's the one whom you want to be with, take care of, and someone who loves you too.. take the step forward. really.. thereafter hold on to this found relationship.. be true to it and it ought to be your priority. a girl really needs your time and attention and love. not easy, but again, it is all worthwhile to be able to put a smile on your girl's face.. nothing beats that feeling..
think this post has gotten a bit long.. just hope cupid will look upon us soon, so that we can find our better half, to make our lives more complete..
"There is someone I love... Although I can't be with her now... I'm still in love with her"
