I BELIEVE

　　in a while and we must forgive them for that.
　　I BELIEVE
　　that it's not WHAT you have,
　　but WHO you have in your life
　　that counts the most..

　　that no matter the consequences,
　　those who are honest with themselves,
　　get farther in life.
　　I BELIEVE
　　that two people can look at the same thing
　　and see something totally different.
　　I BELIEVE
　　that heroes are the people who do
　　what has to be done
　　when it needs to be done,
　　regardless of the consequences.
　　I BELIEVE
　　that you cannot make someone love you;
　　all you can do is be someone
　　who can be loved.
　　I BELIEVE

　　each other
