Sequel: The Young Boy & Young Girl

The air was icy cold this night. The ripples swept through the surface of the water again and again. The wind kept blowing and anyone would feel that this was no time to be at the lake, except for the young boy. Standing at the jetty, he was taking everything in. In fact, he was actually enjoying the cold wind. He had already set up his fishing rod for a night of fishing. It had already been a while but the fishes were not biting.

The young boy glanced at the bright round moon that hanged overhead. His thoughts swirled in his mind and heart. There was something that took him a very long time to learn and realize. And all of a sudden, he felt so dumb.

If there was one thing that he regretted it would be not cherishing the love that was right before his eyes. Wasting everything away, he let the young girl slip away from his hands. If he has a single chance, he would set everything right and confess to the young girl his love for her.

If he could only turn back time, he would go back and correct all his wrongs. He would hold on to her hands never letting go. He wants her to be happy of everything else. Perhaps her happiness is within his control after all. And now, all he could do was to just watch over her and protect her silently. And now he realized that perhaps he was not the one who was hurt the most. It was the young girl. One day maybe she would come to understand why he made the painful decision he had to make.

A few hours had passed and there still no signs of any fish biting. Perhaps tonight was not the best night for fishing. The young boy packed his fishing rod and equipment and headed home. 

I regret.

Linkin Park - Iridescent

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown 

With the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now

You were there and possibly alone.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration 
And let it go, let it go.

And in the burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms


Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known

Remember all the sadness and frustration 
And let it go, let it go.

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration 
And let it go, 

Let it go 
Let it go 
Let it go 
Let it go 

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure’s all you’ve known
Remember all the sadness and frustration 
And let it go, let it go.
