I watch the snowflakes fall down the window pane.

They drift, drifting through the grey sky.

Grey like the boy's eyes...

Wait...

No.

I look back at the snowflakes.

Snowflakes...

I sometimes wish I could be like one, so free and pure, going wherever nature decides to takes them.

I remember when I was small, winter was my favourite season...

I wish I was little again, to when times were so carefree.

I wish I could go through time and tell the little me, that the future ahead was looking really bleak.

I wish I never knew the harsh truths of reality, for as they say, ignorance is bliss.

I wish I never found out the darkness that was ever so real.

But that's the reality of things, I have to face the truth.

You can't just wish upon a star and expect it to come true.

Because soon enough stars burn out... and so do dreams and wishes.

Just like snowflakes... melting away.
