31 december.

a day that always has a huge impact on people.

we remember, we look forward to, we celebrate, we weep for our losses this past year, we hope for the best in the coming new year.

as we count down the minutes to midnight, we wait in bated breath as the year 2oo8 arrives.

what it entails, no one knows.

it could be a joyous year, a merry one, filled with laughs, smiles and kindness.

or it could be a disastrous one, a terrible one, filled with fear, terror, destruction, death.

no one knows.

all we can do is pray, hope, and pray somemore.

today is a day when we reflect on the actions we have have taken, the choices we have made in twenty-o-seven.

and if any regret, pain or sadness still linger, we tell ourselves, "never again."

for a new year brings with it a new chance for redemption, for atonement.

never again.

and we can only pray, humanity will find salvation in this new year.

だからそばにいて
ずっとだと言って
悪魔の声を掻き消すまで
失わぬように
そっと確かめる
