The clock strucked 11:55.
The excitement you had when you were a child gradually faded.
You ponder on the stair-step, as you watch the clock minute by minute it pass. It was quite childish.

The clock strucked 11:58.
Your heart began racing, what were you expecting? It was quite childish.

The clock strucked 12:00
Yet you were left with utter disappointment.
Nothing you expected ever came through. It was stupid. It was childish.

The clock strucked 12:02
You ponder on the stair-step, a dim light and a faint notification sound coming from your phone.
As you study what it reads; a gentle smile formed on your face. It was childish.


"Happy Birthday", yet again.
Maybe being childish wasn't so bad.

You scoffed.
The content feeling you felt.
