Behind my eyelids, an everyday life unfolded, where shimmering light was simply a part of every day. Every hardship became a trial that made my heart race. Even when I was hurt, when I suffered, even when I ran away sometimes, in the end, I was always smiling. That place I can never return to again— it feels as though it might carry me away and lock me there forever. But there is a voice that calls for me, and there are innocent smiles I am still given. I have had enough of someone else's sorrow, so for now, I still can't go over there... We made so many promises, didn't we? I haven't seen them yet, so I'll go and find them. I'll step into a new everyday life, and even if these tears someday become a distant memory, I'll keep searching on my own for a little while. Yeah, I'm alright. I won't be lonely. Well then... I guess it's time to say goodnight. Thank you. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Amen.
