The Reason

This topic just struck me when I was travelling in the bus to work today and was listening to this song “The Reason” from Hoobastank. This song means a lot to me at a certain period of my life…

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That’s why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is You [x4]

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

Most of the time, I find that I am not the perfect person for someone but yet the love for this person is just so strong that I am willing to change. Somehow, this person gives up way before realizing my effort to change.

There are many things I wish I didn’t do to you but then I still did and added unnecessary stress and hurt you in the process I guess. You are like the missing jigsaw puzzle piece that is really needed to complete the puzzle and when u spring in my life, I realize you are the missing piece that I been looking for.

Penny of thought

Most time in life, we are constantly searching for the missing piece. It could be career, family, love, wealth, health and so on… And most time, we are so engrossed in finding it that we forget that we may have done something that may have directly or indirectly have caused someone to be unhappy...

You are like a magician for your life and your life is a magic box… You can pull out anything from the box and present a wonderful show of your life to your audience but then sometime, you just need to know and realize that no matter, how perfect your show may be to yourself, there is always something imperfect about it that you just need to do it over and over and over again… You may either get it right or wrong but either way it still not perfect...

Sometime you will think that "I am the perfect guy for this person so why not me?" The truth is being the perfect person is who you think you are but others may not think the same... There will never be a perfect person for anyone in life or relationship but you learn and give yourself a chance for others to see a side of you that they didn't know... And for whatever reason it going to be, you should still be you...
