Where did all the time go?
Every day I yearn to go back.
To the days when
Life was simple.
I always wanted to grow up,
But now,
I wish I never.
Rushed those cheerful days.

I stare at the hands of a clock.
Longingly wanting to rewind them back.
To the summer of 2014.
Giggling at the smallest things.

It makes me weak.
When waves of nostalgia
Constantly whirls around my head
Making my smile fade
Watering my eyes.

Everybody says,
‘grow up, you’re not a kid anymore’.
The same ones also say.
‘you’re growing up so quickly, I miss the old you’.
I know I’m growing up.
And I miss the old me too.
The old me was excited for school.
And the old me wasn’t so drained.

It almost feels as if,
Everything dulled when I grew up.
I no longer hear the chirps of the magpies.
Early in the morning waking me up.
Now, I just want to sleep.
Until I never wake up.
Even the air smells different
It used to smell fresh and crisp
Now, it's just not the same.

I know I’ve still got the future to look forward to
But oh just imagine.
If I got the chance
To go back
For even just a day.
Just imagine.
