I remember when I was a kid
I pretended I was asleep so adults would carry me to bed
I wrapped myself up with a blanket and pretended I was severely wounded
I pretended I was a teacher and taught a class of imaginary students
And I'm a doctor who conducted endless operations on my stuffed toys
I thought raindrops were racing against each other
I thought the moon follows me everywhere I go
I thought my stuffed toys would feel sad if I didn't sleep with them
And I thought I would marry my first Boyfriend
I imagined being hurt by friends that only existed in my world
I imagined myself smoking when all I'm having was pocky sticks
And I imagined myself drinking shots when all I'm having was a cup of plain water
I love to play "missing" so my family would go around the house to search for me but I always resurface before anyone could find me because I need to pee badly
I love to write neatly when I got a new pen but after awhile, I give up and resign to my usual handwritings
And I love to showoff new toys so other kids would find me a cool friend to have and play with me
I used to sing in the shower thinking I'm a singer holding a concert
I used to lie to my parents when I got my results so I could play one more day and leave those nagging to tomorrow
And I used to think that time only flies when it's school holiday
I felt I'm a parent when all I took care of was my Tamagotchi pet
I felt I'm filial when I made a card for my Mother on Mother's Day
And I felt humans live forever
I couldn't wait to be an adult
Days turn to months and eventually years
I grew up only to be slapped by a painful truth and realized it's all a beautiful lie
While I yearned to grow up, Parents get older with each passing day and I realized
They can't carry me for life
And true friends are so hard to find
Getting hurt by people is part of life
You don't necessarily get to marry your first Boyfriend
The moon doesn't follows you anywhere you go
And there are times you just have to deal with a broken heart
There are so much more to being a responsible and filial person
Just because you are more hardworking than others doesn't mean you can always get what you want
I don't know what in the world was I thinking when I was so eager to grow up
