A young boy and girl meets at a wall a few metres away from the field. At eye contact, they smile and sits back to back, feeling each other's prescence. They keep quiet for a few minutes. The boy speaks.
Boy
I have to be honest with you
Girl
Yeah?
Boy
I wish that we could stay like this forever because everytime i'm with you, i feel like free away from everything else, and i'm always happy but i know, that we can never stay like this forever.
Girl
Yes we can, we'll stick together no matter where we are or we can go to the same school and i'll wait for you while you're in the army. I'll work towards our future together and when you're out with a job, we can get a nice house somewhere and live together. Wouldn't that be nice?
Boy
Yes, it is nice. But its not going to happen.
Girl
(suspicious) Is this a breakup? Are you breaking up with me?
Boy
(smiles) No, listen. I'm not breaking up with you. I just want to be honest with you.
Girl
I don't understand, how is this being honest with me. (Turns to face Boy) If you want a break up with me you can just say so right now in front of my face.
Boy
All i'm saying that this moment that we share right now isn't going to last forever. You know that and I know that.
Girl
What? Things aren't going to go according to plan? That we're going to go our seperate ways as soon as we finish school?
Boy
No, you're going to go to Singapore Polytechnic, do a diploma in Bio Technoloy, slowly working your way up in the ranks of the hospital and you'll be a renowned as one of the leading surgeons in the country. Sure, you'll experience the same drama that we see in cable television but you'll find a dashing man with the perfect career. He'll sweep you off your feet and get you head over heels, and on a full moon by the riverside, he'll kneel down and present you with a beautiful and your hand in marriage, and you'll live a content life, having achieved the perfect road paved towards the perfect life.
Girl
And you?
Boy
(snickers) Me? heh... I'll be going of to Republic Polytechnic, taking in New Media and hoping to work toward changing the media world and as soon i'm done with that, I'll work towards changing the media world and in hopes of making my dream come true, making me an award winning filmmaker. I'll be going off into the army and once i'm out, I'll have difficulty finding a job and I'll be working from dead end job to another dead end job. My parents would complain that i'm an aging bachelor so i'll get married to someone not as perfect as you but i'll give her all the love that I can give as a faithful husband. I'll have three children and I'll probably die by 50 due to a heart attack or a stroke.
Girl
Why does it seem that my life would turn out to be so much better than yours?
Boy
It could happen couldn't it? And it could always happen the other way around.
Girl
What's your point?
Boy
One day, we'll both cross paths somewhere in our lives, where you'll be at a point where you'll begin your life anew with that wonderful person and I'll be carrying my first baby in my arms, not believing that I'm finally a father. We'll look at each other and we'll know, at this moment in our past lives, I loved you with all my heart and you loved me.
