Nostalgia

I wish time could stop,

That this moment of happiness could last forever,

I wish the memories of the past could stay forever,

I wish I didn't have to leave, but I know it's not possible.

Someday, I'll have to leave everything I love and follow my own path,

That leaves my heart feeling anxious,

I'm afraid of not knowing what to do,

Of falling and not being able to get back up,

Of being alone again.

I know I can't go back,

But it's hard to move forward alone,

I don't know what to do, my mind feels like it's collapsing.

I know I have to gather courage and look ahead,

The only thing I know is that one day I will return,

To remember the days when I felt lost,

To recall the moments when I was truly happy,

To wish to go back to a time when nothing mattered,

When freedom had no limits, and our imagination knew no bounds.

I know it will be in vain, but my heart can't accept

That nothing will ever be the same as it was before,

Memories fade into thin air,

Just like my tears,

Happy memories seem like recollections from another life,

My mind falters more and more,

My heart no longer beats with the same excitement,

My soul is no longer as pure as it once was,

And my body is no longer as young as before.

I wish I could go back to that time,

Now all I have left are memories of that time.

The happy moments will forever remain in my heart,

Nothing stays the same as it used to be,

The only thing that will never change is my smile,

No matter what happens, I will always smile,

Because I know I still have a long journey ahead.
