Horae
In Greek mythology the Horae (/ˈhɔːriː/ or /ˈhɔːraɪ/) or Hours (Greek: Ὧραι, Hōrai, pronounced [hɔ̂ːraj], "seasons") were the goddesses of the seasons and the natural portions of time. They were originally the personifications of nature in its different seasonal aspects, but in later times they were regarded as goddesses of order in general and natural justice. "They bring and bestow ripeness, they come and go in accordance with the firm law of the periodicities of nature and of life", Karl Kerenyi observed: "Hora means 'the correct moment'." Traditionally, they guarded the gates of Olympus, promoted the fertility of the earth, and rallied the stars and constellations.
The course of the seasons was also symbolically described as the dance of the Horae, and they were accordingly given the attributes of spring flowers, fragrance and graceful freshness. For example, in Hesiod's Works and Days, the fair-haired Horai, together with the Charites and Peitho crown Pandora—she of "all gifts"—with garlands of flowers. Similarly Aphrodite, emerging from the sea and coming ashore at Cyprus, is dressed and adorned by the Horai, and, according to a surviving fragment of the epic Cypria, Aphrodite wore clothing made for her by the Charites and Horai, dyed with spring flowers, such as the Horai themselves wear.

You Know He Never Loved You
by: ThaliaAll this time I've been trying hard to hear you
To understand you and to console you
I know your life, and it's never been that simple
But now's the time to close the circle
To start over again it's something scary
I know those bruises in your heart are there forever
But now's the time to start again stronger than ever
And show the world in your own way that you are never gonna go through this again
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
He stabbed you in the back and he broke your heart in half
But that will make you stronger, no suffering, no longer
You learned from your mistakes and there ain't no coming back
Now go enjoy your life and you're gonna laugh so hard
You're never gonna cry once again for a guy
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
But at least you learned somehow
But if now you cannot stop thinking of his love
And his kisses, and his caresses
If in the night can't sleep because you miss him
Just remember the thing you've been through
To start over again it's something scary
I know those bruises in your heart are there forever
But now's the time to start again stronger than ever
And show the world in your own way that you are never gonna go through this again
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
He stabbed you in the back and he broke your heart in half
But that will make you stronger, no suffering, no longer
You learned from your mistakes and there ain't no coming back
Now go enjoy your life and you're gonna laugh so hard
You're never gonna cry once again for a guy
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
But at least you learned somehow
But now's the time to start again stronger than ever
And show the world in your own way that you are never gonna go through this again
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
He stabbed you in the back and he broke your heart in half
But that will make you stronger, no suffering, no longer
You learned from your mistakes and there ain't no coming back
Now go enjoy your life and you're gonna laugh so hard
You're never gonna cry once again for a guy
You know he never loved you, you know he never wanted you
