So much time has passed between us. And yet, when looking back, it's as if nothing has passed us at all -- just like how we've changed over the years but in fact nothing deep down in the core has altered the slightest. Love is still as strong as it was, like those old buildings you see that'd stood there for centuries. And we still want to spend the rest of our lives together. And we will. dsdsdsdsd



That is what I have believed.



I recall the fireworks that night. How the luxurious colours exploded above the still water surface of a quiet lake, exploding with a frantic, childlike joy. Fireworks are like man-made miracles. That's my exact thought as I watched they ripped through the darkness. Staring at it makes you think all those harshness in life had never been there at all.



A sense of hope shot up my spine. The fireworks were so beautiful they made my heart ache. I look through the dark crowd, searching for you out of sheer habit. Of course, you were not there. I pressed my lips and smiled, and continued to stare at the fireworks.



I looked higher up into the sky. I thought tears would be slipping across my face. But there were no tears. There was nothing at all, except the brilliant fireworks that were fading into the vastness of the sky.



I laughed with my friends, making harmless silly jokes. I must've looked happy. there was a huge Fun Fair nearby, surrounding me with psychedelic lights and screaming crowds, the rides that swept past the cold air ... Like a childhood dream I should've been but somehow never made it, because I got lost on the way.



So I gulped down more coke and stuffed myself with sweets. My tongue could not have been sweeter, and my heart could not have been in more pain.



How I wish you were there with me. All of a sudden I felt a stream of warmth rose inside me, a warmth that's enough for the both of us to pass through the long, dark winter nights yet to come.
