A simple boy like you.
My regrets, they sit on the other edge of my desires and wishes.
We're all little Humpty Dumptys, and we are the shell that fights to protect the life that exists inside. The shell's really quite strong, and yet it's weak. We can climb the greatest mountains, and stay firm even in highly pressurised situations, but a little knock or a little careless fall could mean we go into pieces.
I know a friend, his name is Yonghan. We don't talk about dreams or about aspirations, but in Malaysia, we live under the same roof. It almost feels like I've known him since I was a child, and talking too in depth is unnecessary. It's all childish banter, and delightful chuckles.
He died in a car crash.
I'm in shock and disbelief.
For something so strong as life.
How can it be out in a flash.
One minute he's there, and now he's not.
All of a sudden, the desire and wish to just hold his hand, look into his eyes and tell him
"Dear Yonghan, I think you are a wonderful son, wonderful brother, awesome grandson and absolute dear to have around."
is so strong.
I'll never have that chance again.
And so, I've told myself.
I will write you a song.
A song you will never hear.
A song for me to remember,
a simple boy like you.
