I dreamed of this day ever since I was a child,
But why did the happiness only last for a while?
I stare at my reflection in the mirror,
And suddenly wonder where did that little girl disappear?
Did I lost her to those sleepless nights?
Or was she there just out of sight?
Did I get too tangled in this messy spin,
That I forgot to tend the soft girl living within?
Then my gaze drops to my hollow eyes,
Was this the same girl that she once idealized?
I really wish I could meet her someday,
But how will I make up for all the promises I made?
I look around at people my age,
But why do I still feel like a bird in a cage?
Then slowly the question pops into my mind,
Is time too fast or am I just falling behind?
But I know even storms must one day break,
and from the wreckage, small seeds of hope awake.
And why should I care if no one else is near?
When I know my past self is always cheering from the rear.
