I was wrong
The words I spoke
I've been saying many things
That are hurtful
Your tear shed eyes
Your fragile mind
Guess I'll be dancing on my own tonight

I know December is hard to cope with
I know I caused you lots of pain
But I did not mean to let you down this way
But I know deep inside
I let your smile fade away
I let your smile fade away

I remember when
We used to lay
On the grass
And watch the sun go away
But now you're gone
I let you pass by
I know I've said so many things
That are hurtful

I know December is hard to cope with
I know I caused you lots of pain
But I did not mean to let you down this way
But I know deep inside
I let your smile fade away

I've been saying words that are way too hard
I never really meant to go this far but
Every day I see how your smile fades away
I've been saying words that are way too hard
I never really meant to go this far but
Every day I see how your smile fades away.

I was wrong
The words I spoke
I've been saying many things
That are hurtful

The room that was crowded before, now slowly began to quiet. Mew continued to watch from a distance. He did not dare to go inside. On what grounds could he approach Gulf to send his condolences? Tay slowly approached him from the back and sighed.

"Won't you go inside?", Tay asked softly.

Mew shook his head slightly, "I'll be here."

"Mew... I think-"

"Tay...", Mew cut him. "Save it... I know what you will say, so... I beg you, just save it..."

"Right now, what you guys need is time", Tay sighed as he patted Mew's shoulder caringly, "Should we go home now?"

"You can go first, I'll stay here for a moment..."

Tay stared at Mew for a moment before he finally smiled, "Alright. Go home soon and take a good rest. You have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Mew nodded, "Okay."

Tay patted his shoulder again before he finally walked away to the parking lot. Mew took a cigarette and lit it on. He inhaled it deeply as his eyes still fixed on the sight of Gulf who was sitting quietly in front of his grandma's picture. Tul was there, standing behind him with his eyes fixed on Gulf.
