If only I didn't need
To forget;
If only I didn't yearn
For my innocence, and
It'd never left me;
If only I didn't crave solace
Because nothing was dim;
If only I couldn't realize
My life's unsolicited depreciation;
If only I solely felt physical pain;
If only I didn't need
To reforget.
Our emotions make us human, but it's hell. Experiences reveal how the world really works, and I'd rather feel the pain of reality than nothing at all. But I sometimes wish I didn't know as much as I do; if only everything that's deteriorating around me wasn't apparent anymore.
