Red and white

The flags are starting to fly, the decorations have been put in place.

Every year, the nation never fails to remind me of that day.
Every year, I struggle to find peace during this period as I struggle to reconcile with this irreversible fact.

Not that it's difficult to reconcile.
After all, it's been 4 years.
4 years. I can't even remember the year anymore. I had to search through my archives -_-"
See how easy it is to move on?

But I'm afraid of forgetting.
Somehow, if I reconcile with that day, I'm afraid I might overlook the proof of your existence totally.
So let me be selfish and struggle with my inner turmoil till that day passes.
It's the only thing I can do for putting you at the back of my mind for the rest of the year.

Till then.
Rest in peace.
