regret is a painful thing.

Even though it's sad, it is reality.
It doesn't matter how much I cry,
I can't run away from the disease.

when I was innocent and free

Can I view adulthood with a child-like innocence?

Sometimes, I wish I was a kid again, then I wouldn't have to view the world with such tainted eyes. Life would be like a rainbow in its shining glory.

Even if I want to return to the past,
I can't go back in time.
