[song inspiration: Yorushika - Ghost In A Flower]

I want things to go back to how it used to be. Back when you were a lovely thorny rose.
And you were my favourite colour.

Back when I'd look at you,
I'd see the skies and the birds and feel the heat of the sun melting me.
Back when we speak,
I could taste vanilla ice cream with cream and rose petals and it would take me to the briny aroma of the beach and its piercing wind.

I want things to go back to when you were everything.
And you didn't have to say you're sorry.
And I was as beautiful as a blossoming magnolia.

Every day I swallow a lump and wonder why the time has flown and took only you with it.
My knees bled from all the falls I've had running after you.
My bitterness seeps through my very pores.
Everything changed and
all I can do is bite my fingers and watch as the memories wither in the dirtiest of browns.

I want things to go back to how it used to be. Back when you were a lovely thorny rose.
And I was your favourite colour.
