This is what my life has become.
I had left the path to pursue the brighter future.
Then I saw people who lost the path and were confused about their future.
I went back into the path, trying to help them seek the light.
The also held onto my hand tightly, since I wanted to help them to test their might.
However, along the way,
whenever they would see something new,
they would let go, leaving me in dismay.
They would come back every once in a while,
when they had nothing else to do.

What can I do? I hold their hands and lead them again
since it’s not in my nature to say “Shoo!”
Once we got close to the light,
the light that might not only make us better
but also bring us closer and bind us in the light of life
they run away, seeking other hands to hold onto for temporary pleasures.
I’m here, as usual, as always,
with nothing but the vision of light and the depth of darkness in my heart
one thing I also have besides these two things
is the memories and love of life, the memory and love for humanity, and the memory and love of and for others
No matter what you do to me
as long as you don’t set out to hurt me intentionally
I’ll always love you and be here, waiting for you, for without love
there is no reason to live life, and without reason,
there is no purpose. That’s what I always told you
and that’s what I’ll hopefully always believe in.
This dark path is beautiful too, since it has a lot of memories
memories of you and me together, of us working together
to get rid of our miseries.
We’ve come a long way indeed,
even though I’m sad that you keep remembering me only when you’re sad
and not that much when you want to share your happiness
and not that much when you want to be with someone
I’m happy, and I’m hopeful
that one day we’ll be closer than ever before
for this dark path has taught me
that with each step I take,
both the light and the darkness start loving each other
and start holding each others’ hands,
like no one in the universe has ever done before.
For if the light never existed,
no one would ever know what darkness means
and if the darkness never existed,
no one would ever know what light really means.
