No matter how much it hurts me,
No matter how much it breaks me,
I still keep finding that pain.
I am so addicted to this losing game.

As I walk down the path of roses,
Where each rose is a reminiscence,
I saw your smile after a century.
A smile that never faded in my memory.

Oh, how the story is so colorful.
So beautiful...
Yet everytyhing is so illusional.
So delusional.

I reached the end of red roses,
And entered the path of gray.
Where nothing but just sad tears,
And the words "I'm okay..."

I thought everything is all about ups and downs,
Or reds and grays, or laughters and breakdowns.
I though it was a cycle that never ascends.
But never thought of will the story ever end?

A trip down memory lane,
Makes you insane.
But you'll relize as you transcend,
The stories then, now, and beyond...
NEVER ENDS.

Oh, how I deny the moment.
I can't believe this would happen.
I don't want to believe.
I don't want you to leave.

I hate you for leaving.
My heart burns in anger.
I hate that I gave everything.
Oh, how you killed my ember.

I kneel on my knees.
Begging, I'd do anything.
Just to make me at ease.
I bargain to nothing.

I can't go on.
I can't move on.
This is my end.
I've got nothing to defend.

A promise to never give up.
I kept and stood up.
I still have a future.
I still have life's treasure.

A star is born.
So young and dumb.
Resents in life and in love.
Independence he wishes,
Eager to break free.
Little star, space is dark.

I'm laying on my bed.
Thinking about the things I've imbedded.
I'll remember the memories I've created.
Only to realize I'll soon be dead.

Life is short, nothing more.
I lived my life until my heart tore.
I am so tired and torn.
A forever rest from everything I've borne.

For my death, this is my eulogy.
For the people, this is my apology.
You don't have to worry now.
This is my forever vow.

To whom it may concern,
    We went through a quick journey, and it was fun. I had a great time creating memories with you. Though it was just a journey for a couple of days, we made the most of it. We had our laughs and tears together. All that was enough for me to love you.
    
    Tonight, we started to put our limits. Though I felt like I lost you, deep in my heart told me to stay. I wanted to do better this time even if it cost me to break my heart all over again. It'll be worth the wait, worth the sacrifice, and it's going to be the worthiest pain to bear. I know all of this is going to be worth it in the end, even if it will cost my life one day.

    I am not saying goodbye to you. I'm just trying to say that I'll still be here waiting for you, even though the uncertain future tells me that I may not be the man for you to marry. Along our personal journeys, we will meet a lot of new people. These people will enter our lives and maybe you'll find the man who'll be the best for you.

    I will be there on your wedding day, and that's promise. Though I know that your wedding will be the happiest day of your life, it will be the most painful day of my life. I'll be seeing the woman I really love being married to a man who's better than me. This is most likely to happen in the future, but I will keep my promise to wait for you until the very end.

                                                           ­             Sincerely yours,
                                                          ­              ...
