We had once upon a time...

Once upon a time,
There was a village where some humans are equipped with wings and unfortunately some do not. There was an ordinary little boy who is one of the unfortunate ones without the wings, he was playing in the backyard of his village, he was running around with butterflies. Running after those butterflies, made him ran further and further from his village, he soon discovered a cliff.

The little boy was curious what lies at the bottom of the cliff, as he went closer to the edge of the cliff, he then soon realised it is a very deep end, where he could hardly see any visible sights of ground.

Then came a gentle female voice that seems to come from the bottom of the cliff, "Hello, you are? Wanna be friends?" The little boy made friends with the anonymous voice from the bottom of the cliff and came by often to the cliff to chat with her.

After a week, both the little boy and girl enjoys each other accompany. One day when the little boy makes him daily routine visit again and after a day chat when he was about to leave. The girl said, "Come down, I will play with you forever at the bottom of the cliff." The boy was sceptical about it, he replied, "No way, how do I know you can be trusted, what if I dropped down and you run away!" the girl replied, "You got to trust me, there are many fun things around here and I will be here with you too forever." The little boy decides and thought about it, he enjoyed the girl accompany and would wish to become more than just a distance chat friend. But he knows once he jumped, there is no turning back. He wanted trust and forever, which the girl promised, hence he jump down.

The little boy was happy to see the girl, she was a pleasant looking and decent girl, she was one of the few fortunates one equipped with wings. They spent sometime together going around at the deep end of the cliff. The little boy got happier day by day to be able to spend his lifetime with this girl for eternity which he has trusted.

However after a year, the girl became bored as it has become a routine with the same few activities. One night, she told the boy that she has got enough and done. Equipped with wings, she flew up the cliff searching for new excitement of life. Leaving the little boy at the bottom of the cliff alone.

Being a wingless little boy, the boy could only stay at the bottom of the cliff. He was devastated of the promises and trusts that were said but till then it became bits and pieces of sand flowing in the air where its all gone. He didnt know what was the reason of her departure, he could only shout up to the top of the cliff of the girl's name, hoping she would pass by one day. The girl finally came one day but with another guy, the little boy asked why she left but it was an empty reason. The little boy hopes for her return, but the girl said, "Sorry, I cant bear to leave this guy and awesome place now."

Every now and then, the girl would visit the little boy but coming with a different guy every visit. The little boy then realised that trust was just an empty bowl and those promises were made for fun. Now the boy is stuck at the bottom of the cliff, all he could do is to wish someone who is strong to pull him up from the cliff.

Will there be a miracle where someone would appear to lift the boy up to where he came from? Or the little girl would come back for the little boy. Well...


How many times does a butterfly blink,
before it learns to fly?
The sky is sprinkled over with countless stars,
But how many there will remain?
Even as I fly, you fall
So close as I hear you breathe.
So sorry, I didnt keep hold of you.
I don't know why you had to leave,
How I could ignore my every cry,
All the while the downpour of my tears shattering the ground,
So clearly pierced my heart.
You don't know why I had to keep away,
Circling in the sky above, just out of sight
So many are the things you never know.
