I remember when growing up was an adventure,
and growing old was just a dream.
I remember looking forward
to the people and places I've never seen.
I remember being careless,
and remember feeling free.
I remember when all that mattered
was being with my family.
I remember when sleeping was easy,
and my mind was always calm.
I remember what my life was like
before reality hit like a bomb.
I remember being happy,
when I would run and dance with ease.
I remember laughing until I cried
and doing whatever I pleased.
I remember what my life was like
before I came to regret.
But my life has changed so drastically
that I wish I could forget.
I want to forget being happy,
so I don't regret being sad.
But I suppose I have to remember,
even if it feels this bad.
