Khaido’s stood up top
watching the fireworks from above
He holds his left,injured
He looks down to see people gathered
everyone looks so happy
the smile of that little girl over there
It Satisfies his fractured heart
Khaido has a sudden realisation:
This is the meaning of life
not the last moments with others
not love, not money
But seeing that we affect others
Khaido’s done his mission, everyone’s smiling
He finally accomplished his purpose on this Earth
everyone is full of a smile to give, without it
What hope is left?

A smile illuminates the our path
even in the darkest hour
it keeps our friends motivated
it keeps our enemies guessing
it keeps us together, strong
a smile is the ray of darkness we all need in this
dark world
“My eyes could cry stories, but I prefer to tell them with a smile”

Khaido lays down, he appreciates the fireworks
they remind him so much of Randelle
I miss Them…
Khaido smiles as he faces the fireworks
a single tear flows from his eyes
the first tear he’s shed in years
Khaido lays there as he slowly
very slowly dies…
He’s accepted that he was alone in this world
who else could save him?

Nobody

Despite an untimely death
I wish that you do one thing for me okay?
Yes you!

Smile for me okay?
I don’t have long left
but promise me…
you won’t stop smiling!

I’m proud of you
Smile :)
