It's been so long since I've thought of how big I've grown. The flowers that I've held between my fingers were so big back then...now it looks..small, fragile.
As I strolled back home slowly, the gentle breeze caressed my face and embraced my body. The scent of night blooming flowers drifted in the air and lingered in my mouth. It's been so long since I've went pass this area..I used to think that this place must be the biggest court around. I was so small back then. Unwanted memories slowly resurfaced bringing a surge of mixed emotions through me.
When their wish came true, that child was crying.
When his wish came true, a wife was crying.
When a widow's wish came true, that child was crying.
When his wish came true, they were crying.
The more the child wishes for her happiness, the more selfish he became.
She who wished for one own's happiness, that's not selfish, right?
When someone's wish came true, the child would always be crying.
Wishes can't come true for everyone at once.
As the clock continues turning, the child learns to be gentler.
If the clock reverses, a child's wish is to not be born.
If a child's wish came true, no one would be crying.
