De Komst is coming to an end.
I thought the idea of Vlahos singing a sad song  to Karina would be a perfect scene for the end,
then i found this one song, 'Aan de oever van een snelle vliet' means
 'a sorrowful girl who sat by the bank of the river'

This is originally a german song, but then translated into dutch. The original name was 'An einem Fluss der rauschend Schoss' in German and was published anonymously in 1781. The oldest Dutch version dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The song was passed on in many songbooks and magazines and remained popular until the early twentieth century. 

The story itself is about by the banks of a rapid brook sits a grieving orphan girl. A passing gentleman asks her what is wrong. She directs him to her mother's grave and tells him of the death of her father and brother, who both drowned in this brook. The gentleman takes her home with him and offers her a good life.

Simple, but i don't know somehow this song is just prefectly suits for Vlahos & Karina. Maybe it's because the story is just so similar (which in my case, Karina is an orphan girl) and Vlahos offer her a good life. 
It's just so... coincidence that until now, i couldn't believe it by myself. 

I found it's really hard to find the complete lyrics but well, i found it :

Aan de oever van een snelle vliet een treurend meisje zat
Zij weende en schreide van verdriet het gras van tranen nat


Een heer die wandelt langs de vliet bespeurt haar bitt're smart
Dat hij het meisje wenen ziet , treft zijn meedogend hart


Zij zuchtte en zag hem treurig aan en sprak: 'Ach brave man
Een arme wees ziet gij hier staan die God slechts helpen kan


Ziet gij dat groene berkje niet? Daar ligt mijn moeders graf
Ziet gij den oever van dees' vliet? Daar gleed mijn vader af


De felle stroom verzwolg hem dra. Hij worstelde, ach, en zonk
Mijn broeder sprong hem achterna. Helaas, ook hij verdronk!


Hij nam haar teder bij de hand, hij, met haar lot begaan
Hij gaf haar kleren naar zijn stand voor weesjes kleren aan


Zij at zijn spijs, zij dronk zijn drank, gestadig, dag bij dag.
Heb dank, o edel brave man, voor zo een goed gedrag.

The complete lyrics i found was arranged by Maarten van Roozendaal,
so if you want to hear the music just download it here :-)

When i was child,

i learn that love is something about i'm trying to understand.

But when i was in the middle school,

I learn that love is something about accepting what i didn't understand.

And now.

in Highschool,

i learn that love is something about letting go and giving away what you can't have.



And all i can do is only hoping,

that in my new journey,

One day, someone will make me understand what's the meaning of love.

Two Years.

Two Years full of hope, wonder, misery.
And it's going to end now.

Two Years.
Two Years that will not pass into nothingness.
Two Years that taught me how to win a war.
Two Years that i will never forget.
