the boy who sees a sad world

he has always seen the world with a tinge of gray.

and she had so wanted to be the one to change that. she wanted to bring him joy, and to teach him a new way of looking at life. and she wanted to teach him how to love-- truly, madly, deeply.

she had failed. and she would never have the chance to do so anymore.

he's full of juxtapositions-- sometimes, he's like an old man who has seen too much and has grown weary and tired of the world; and yet at other times, he's like a child, willing to you take him into your arms and to shield him from the bad and harmful ways of the world.

he said that things are going well with her. she feels a gaint stab at her heart, but yet a part of her wishes him well-- she hopes that he can find true happiness. and she can't help but wonder, what kind of girl is she? would she be able to erase the pain and sadness that he has carried in his soul for the past twenty-odd years?

will this girl be able to accomplish what she had failed to do?

much as this path has caused her great pain, she has never regretted her decision. if she had to live her life over, she would probably have made the same choices.

the only regret that she has is that she will not be the one to bring him happiness-- the boy who sees a sad world.
