A Song that Could've Been Written by Me
As I've written in my profile, I am very much into K-pop and one of my favorite groups is the legendary band, Shinhwa. If you're not familiar with them, feel free to use google.
There's this song from their latest album that somehow I find myself humming every now and then. When they released The Return, I have looped the album for quite some time but I didn't memorize every single song. When I found myself humming this tune, I thought it came from a drama since I'm also fond of watching Korean dramas. I have a number of playlist in my iPod so when it went to play this song, that's the only time I realized that Shinhwa was the one behind it. I looked for the English translation just recently and I was surprised that the lyrics were similar to what I have just written.
Shinhwa does write their own songs but not this particular one. On the other hand, I wrote the song with someone in mind. I want to give him hope at the same time bring us close. I intended it to be a gift to that person but since I can't actually compose the music I have to pass it to someone who does. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to make a copy when her son messed up the lyric sheet. Well, I'm praying that I can still give him my song. Going back, I can't help but gush at the thought of my oppadeul (Korean for older brothers) singing my song.
Well be the judge if the lyrics are similar. At least I think they have the same theme. Below are the lyrics that I have written and the video for Shinhwa's "Re-love".

Tell Me You'll Love Again
You need no words at all
to tell that you've been hurt
You tried your best to hide it
Though it already shows
The way you always end up with a tight smile
or that far away look in your eyes
From the start, you never fooled me
So why don't you
tell me you'll love again
Forget the things that hurt
See the light in the dark night
Even if I don't stand a chance
I want to hear you say those words
for my heart to be at peace
Knowing you'll be happy once more
Each new place, a new crowd
But I know she's the only one you want to be with right now
The distance, the lies have been hard to take
How can you move own if you won't let go
Now it's time to love yourself a little more
Put the twinkle back in your eyes, let the youthful glow out
Acceptance is the key if you give it a try
My gesture man, it's now time
You'll always be my number one
Even though we're far, somehow our hearts are one
If destiny will be kind to us, someday we will meet
Until then keep believing that love will find you
And life will be beautiful in the end.
