  • Prolagus Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
    About a boy who's just like me
    Thought there was love in everything and everyone
    You're so naïve!
    They always reach a sorry ending
    They always get it in the end.
    Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then
    With a winning smile, the boy
    With naivety succeeds
    At the final moment, I cried
    I always cry at endings.
