7 years !
After 7 years im finally free,
My braces are off.

I felt on top of the world,
Until,
I got retainers.

I remember everything so clearly
I remember when the sun was shining to your face and you looked down at me and told me that I'm beautiful

I remember the feeling I felt after our first kiss
I remember when you told me you want me in your life forever
I remember the look on your face the first time you told me you love me

I remember feeling safe whenever you wrapped me around your arms
I remember touching your hair, your skin, your lips
I remember me kneading your veiny hands

I remember us feeling empty when we're not together
I remember us missing each other's lips even right after we kissed
I remember us naming our future kids

I remember you ignoring me
I remember you throwing everything we had
I remember you not remembering me

Why do people keep on wishing to go back in time? We always hold on to the past and relive those memories that are long gone. We're eager to cling to the things that aren't there anymore.

Aren't we tired of that? Spending most of our time wishing things were just like before? Hoping that things would never change? We're so naive to believe that every good thing is in the past. But really it's not.

I want to know what my heart truly desires, but I'm afraid with what might be the answer.

I miss being a kid, those times when we choose coins over paper bills, when
the only way to cheer us up is eating an ice cream, bright colors makes us smile, hugs comforts us, we pretend to be asleep on the couch so our father will carry us to our bed, jigsaw puzzles.

As we grow old our desires become more bigger. We forget to be happy and contented with those little things. We end up wishing and asking for more. We find happiness to things that in the long run didn't really matter.
