Past

Sneaking from behind the wall

I looked at my own self.

She looked happy but I knew

She needed help.

I came so far just to warn her

The mistakes I made,

She doesn't commit.

She is so young, I thought.

So naive, and so easy to fall

Prey to the sweet false words.

I chose the exact date

For my time travel.

How can I forget the day

All of my misery started.

I was about to grab her

And predict her future;

Tell her all the bad stuffs

She was about to go through.

I left the shield of the wall

And dragged my feet

Towards my innocent self.

I moved closer to surprise her

But heard her say,

"I never felt so happy before.

I am in love with this feeling."

Those words were enough for me.

I traced back my steps.

I can't do it. I can't stop it.

She needs to go through

All of that.

She needs to turn into the person

I am now.

I was wrong.

Travelling in time may change

The future but is it worth it?

All those pain and joys

Shape you into what you are today.

With that I came back where I belonged,

Leaving my past self

To deal with things in her own way.
