For You

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

So I have finally started watching Bleach a bit late I know but I am on about episode 30, so I wrote this from Rukia Kunchiki’s point of view to Ichigo Kurosaki . Please bare in mind I have no idea how their relationship is going to go, I just like the idea of them two haha.

What is it about you?
That made me,
Go soft inside…

Before you,
I could cover my feelings,
Just did my job,
As a soul reaper,
And carried on…

But for you,
I gave up everything,
Knew that one day,
They’d come for me…

Thought you were done and gone,
But you came back to save me…

There’s so many things I need to tell you,
But I don’t know how…
All I know is I want to stay by your side,
Helping you in any way I can…

I think I love you…

Addicted to You.

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

It’s been a while since I last saw you,
And I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you…
You made me smile,
Every time I saw your face…

You knew just what to say,
When I was feeling down,
You knew how,
to bring my spirits up again.
You made me laugh, you made me smile…

Now I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you…

I miss you,
The guy who would be there,
For me.
The one who understood,
My needs…

Now I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you…

I remember we use to talk,
About such random things,
But it was cool,
As long as I was with you….

Now I can’t get you outta of my head,
Cause I’m so addicted to you,
Wandering  what your doing,
If your thinking about me,
Like I’m thinking about you…
Thinking about you…

Sometimes

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Sometimes.
When nothing seems to be,
Going your way,
Lost in an abyss of your own making…

You turn to run.
But it just keeps,
Following you…

What do you do…

In your mind,
Your shouting for help,
Screaming for someone,
To hear you….

But all that returns,
Is silence.
A cold reflection,
Of what faces you…

Sometimes.
You just need a little boost,
Someone to stand,
By you…

Sometimes.
It’s nice to have someone,
To turn to,
To be there for you….

Sometimes…
You don’t,
Don’t want to,
Face it alone…

Never Want to Let You Go

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Ok so I have not written anything in a while, been a bit busy I guess studying for my master degree.(Sounds good right hahaha) It actually is a pretty good course and I am enjoying it a lot! Anyways this is a little something I wrote as I listened to this beat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkoEWm4Bovs Not entirely sure how I came up with this song, I guess I picked a theme and wrote about it. But I do not always write in this way sometimes I brainstorm a bunch of stuff. To be honest it just depends what mood I am in. Anyway I hope you like it…=)

Hey this is for you.

Running through the streets,
After you…
Never wanting to let you go….

Always wanting to stand by you,
Your my love, your my boo…
You know me inside and out,
Seen all the good and the bad…

Yet you’ve stood by me,
For better or for worse,
Regardless of everything I’ve done…

I never want to let you go….
Always want to stand by you,
Your my everything…
Your my love, your my boo…

Time feels frozen as I am,
Dancing in your arms tonight…
Don’t know what I would do,
Without you standing by my side…

I never want to let you go….
Always want to stand by you,
Your my everything…
Your my love, your my boo…

Crazy as times have been,
You’ve always stood by me…
It’s been two and half years now,
I wuv you…
And thank you for everything…

The Grimm’s Snow White a.k.a Snowdrop

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

The apple is as red as my lips,
This is what the old woman gives,
But could it be,
That beautiful wicked witch.
The one who sent a hunter after me…

For I am the centre of her jealously,
She is using all her power,
To get rid of me…

After she found out,
The hunter had set me free,
Realizing he couldn’t do her evil deed,
She tried to get me again and again…
And would have succeed,
But each time I was saved,
By my several dwarf friends…
And they warned me continuously,
Not to accept things from those I do not know…

Saying:
“Beware of your step-mother,
She will soon know that you are here,
Be sure to let no one come in…”

But it couldn’t be this old lady,
For she seems harmless enough…,

I’m sure just one bite,
Won’t hurt,
Plus she has even shown me,
With a BITE!
And nothing has happened to her…

So I take a….BITE*

Oh no,
What is this feeling,
What a mistake I have made,
I should not have trusted the old lady,
Her laugh pierces my ears…

The beautiful apple is poisoned,
Why didn’t I listen?
To the dwarfs,
Who’s care I was in…

Now I’m falling….
My life seems so very short lived…

Several Years pass…

Oh…Who has awakened me?
A handsome prince it seems…
Could he be my lover?
I hardly know him,
But he saved me…

So I guess I’m in his debt…

But first I’ll pay back that woman,
Who put me in this situation,
For in hot iron shoes,
She will be continuously dancing to the beat,
Until she fades away for eternity …

Now I am free of her,
It is my time to live my life,
Happily ever after…

The Game

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Back when we were,
Carefree,
And didn’t give a damn,
About what other people thought…

All we cared about,
Was playing the game,
That blew all our worries away…

It was just us,
And the ball,
The world outside,
Just seemed to fade,
And the time would fly by…

Cause we,
Had fun,
And were always joking around…

It was you who made me laugh,
When I was down…

And you who told me,
To believe in myself,
To shoot and to score,
Basket after basket…

You taught me things,
That I’d never even thought of before…

Lay-ups, rebounds, how shoot and score…

That was the game we played…
All day…

Grandad

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

As I look up at the stars at night,
I wander whether your looking,
Down at me…
Protecting me silently.

Its been so long now,
Many, many years,
I sometimes try to imagine,
What you would do or say,
If you was still here.

Would be proud of me?
Would you say everything’s going to be ok…..

As I look up at the stars at night,
I wander whether your looking,
Down at me…
Protecting me silently.

Would things be different,
Would you smile more,
As the number of your grandchildren grew and grew…
Granddad I miss you,
Hope your doing well up there…

As I look up at the stars at night,
I wander whether your looking,
Down at me…
Protecting me silently.

You may be gone,
But you’ll never be forgotten…

Beethoven Virus

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins
I wrote this a while ago, after watching Beethoven Virus. The persona is the trumpet player Gun Woo, who falls in love with Du Ru-Mi, a violinist. At first they like each other, but over time the violinist falls in love with the conductor, and him with her, but regardless Gun Woo still loves her unconditionally. >.<

Please don’t leave me,

Because I need you,

In my life,

I’d be lost without you…

Guiding me through…

 

(Chorus)

I thought I would die,

I thought…I thought I would stop breathing,

Without you…

By my side….

 

You was the one,

Who made me smile,

And brought me up,

When I was down,

You was the one I needed the most…

 

(Chorus)

 

You opened up,

The pathway to my dreams,

Showing me,

The talent I really had….

 

(Chorus)

 

And it’s hard for me.

To let you go…

But if,

I’m not the one,

for you….

 

Then you should leave,

And get the person,

Who makes you happy…

 

Cause so long as you happy,

I will be too…

So live you life,

With no regrets…

 

And I will continue,

to love you….

Unconditionally….

Please forgive me…

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

Concept:

This girl (Miss A) fell for this guy (Mr. b), but they had to separate, as they lived in two different worlds. She promised she would wait for him, but they fell out one day and she swore at him, that was the beginning of their downfall…
Later she received a message from him telling her that he wasn’t the one for her.
She was very upset as he completely ignored any messages she sent him. Miss A continues to look for some sort of closure between the two of them, and wanders if he’s forgiven her and if they can ever be the close friends they once were…
 

For Mr.B

Its strange but I look back,

Every now and again,

Hoping to understand,

The events that transpired,

before and after you left…

 

Have you forgiven me,

So unsure…

 

Don’t know what to say,

to you,

But really want to speak to you…

 

Can we be friends?

Can I know,

Why you don’t, ever talk to me anymore…

 

If I hurt you,

I’m sincerely sorry,

from the bottom of my heart…

 

I hope that if you haven’t forgiven me yet,

That one day you will

I miss you…

 

Miss A

New Friends

Posted on by Elizabeth Han Hopkins

I must apologize for not writing on this for so long, as I have been busy doing my driving theory and what not,  so I hope this song will make up for it a little bit. Its written for someone who made me smile, and has become a good friend of mine recently.

Hope you like it 🙂

 

When I first met you,

I thought you were kind of cool,

Wasn’t sure how to speak to you,

And I was a little nervous too…

 

But when I finally spoke to you,

I found out you were cheeky and warm,

Making faces at me,

And joking around…

 

Although I haven’t known you for long,

It feels like its been a while…

 

My new friend,

I’m glad to have met you….

 

So whatever happens,

I’ll be there for you…

Be sure to be happy,

And laugh and smile like you make me do….

 

My new friend,

I’m glad to have met you….

 

I hope we’re friends forever and ever…

Peace out
