comforting memories by kumi tanioka
time ticks and ticks away
leaving you at every second that goes by.
people changing their faces, their values, themselves.
you doing the same but maybe,
just maybe,
you only analyze others rather than yourself.
not knowing that you yourself are undergoing changes.
things happen in the matter of seconds, hairs growing,
feelings shifting ,
memories fading,
all at the slip of an eye.
nothing stays or remains.
everything is constantly moving.
shifting, changing, altering, deteriorating ,
we let this kill us inside ,
the realization that everything .. undergoes change.
that all things, come to an end.
it is accepting it that is the hardest,
especially when this realization is new to you, mostly at an older age.
it's hard, but it's inevitable.
seconds by alaskan tapes (played after the prev song)
but once we accept,
we allow ourselves to move on.
not everything is easy nor should it ever stay the same,
because what if we were in a bad position all around but just never realized until we started in a different place with a more outrospective view on things.
i appreciate the old way too fucking much,
to the point where it even hurts to begin to take the first steps forward.
but i know that i must progress,
that i have bigger things waiting,
bigger things that were only just dreams before.
but now,
are actually achievable.
i miss the old,
but i know that one day we'll all die in the end,
that one day we will miss everything,
so why miss it now?
i miss it because i do not hold the same comfort as i once did before.
i am scared of going into the future.
i am scared of the unknown outcome,
i don't know what i'm doing sometimes.
but i have to go through,
for those around me and for myself.
i wake up every day for my own reasons,
i am awake because i have a place to be.
this world is bitter in its own taste,
it knows how to bite you,
but you can also bite It.
