"I was happy to be by your side only; my heart would tremble like a flower in the wind. The flower bowed down to your wind to survive. The wind died out eventually, so did the flower." She does not face his way; she knows she will not be able to resist his tempting blue orbs, which always find their place in her heart and conscience, eventually forcing her to give up once more, to give him another chance.

Another chance to go to a waste.

She is still so young, yet her soul is that of an aged woman who lived long in this life, experiencing every little misfortune and surprise the mischievous fate brings her way.

Except both her misfortunes and surprises are full of bitterness and nothing else.

It is a matter of time before she cannot take it anymore and do the first thing that comes to her mind:

Scream at the top of her lungs.
