Never Meant To Be

This song is about unrequited love, in which the relationship was one-sided from the perspective of the song's narrator. The lyrics express feelings of regret and disappointment. The introduction of the song features the singer repeatedly attempting to call their former loved one, hoping for reconciliation and a desperate sense of closure. They acknowledge the gap in their previous interactions and the time spent without each other. The first verse describes the feeling of vulnerability for the other person and the act of waiting for them. It expresses a sense of incompleteness, which ties into the chorus where the singer expresses their expectations for the relationship that were never fulfilled. The music, in a jazzy piano ballad style, represents the smooth yet bittersweet feeling of losing someone you loved, even though they may not have been the best choice for you in the end. The song ultimately comes to the realization that the relationship was "never meant to be." In the second verse, the lyrics discuss warning signs that were ignored, driven by the naivety that often accompanies being in love. The outro reinforces the idea that from the start, the relationship was doomed, and its outcome was inescapable and inevitable.

To me, creativity is the beauty of self-expression through personal artistry and originality. Exploring creativity means not only thinking outside the normal range of thought but also figuring out oneself and one's identity. Creativity is purely a gift and a treasure that grows within everyone in different ways.
