This song, “I’ll Be There” deeply hits me and what I have right now with my ‘magic’
partner. It’s a song that just doesn’t reflect our magic, it has more that shows how
we are passionate about the ‘magic’ or love that’s between us. We are young, and
we still have to learn through the years. But as of now we have one thing common
in our minds that we are very sure of—to be there for each other no matter what.
There is more to love that keeps us together amidst the many hindrances that keep
coming to us. We are not weak, but we are yet to be strong. That is why we both
keep our words to be there for each other until our last breathe. This song clearly
describes our magic, our passion, our love, and our will to make our relationship
