“The ancient Hawaiians
believed that the level of
happiness in our lives,
was a direct reflection of
the sum total of our
thoughts and feelings.
That by reconnecting with
the balance and beauty of
nature we can begin to
experience a sense of
calmness and well-being,
as it is hard to hold onto
negative thoughts while
surrounded by beauty.”

“I closed my eyes so I wouldn't see,
The love that you don’t feel for me.
The day finally came and I did what was right,
I saw you with her, and I gave up this fight.
I can't make you love me if you don't,
You can't make your heart feel something it won’t.
In our final hour, I laid down my heart,
Cuz’ I can’t make you love me it you don’t.”
The love that you don’t feel for me.
The day finally came and I did what was right,
I saw you with her, and I gave up this fight.
I can't make you love me if you don't,
You can't make your heart feel something it won’t.
In our final hour, I laid down my heart,
Cuz’ I can’t make you love me it you don’t.”
