1.“It’s usually just like that,” I thought
2.As the milk cooled with a sigh
3.Becoming body-warm, I decided it’s breakfast4.
5.Someone I once saw, passing by the window
6.Would we, from that day, have waved and smiled?7.
8.I forgot
9.Though I swore I wouldn’t forget
10.Just like skipping a small station on the journey11.
12.The dream’s bell beckons to the ending roll
13.At the platform for the “Youth” line, number five
14.Missing the line-up, I let out a sigh of relief15.
16.At the bottom of my heavy bag,
17.Lay a destination from ‘someday’
18.But surely, I remained standing still
19.Having overslept it all20.
21.The summer breeze’s path
22.Lined with clumsy dreams
23.Ah, why do we grow up?24.
25.Someone I once saw, passing by the window
26.That was us, from that day, waving and smiling27.
28.“How about waking from this dream?”
29.After how many years? An unfamiliar yet familiar face
30.It seems nothing remains unchanged31.
32.If it’s not too grand, may it come true
33.May you find it someday
34.All of us, too big for a B4 paper35.
36.Tucked away in a wrinkled jacket
37.The future I dreamt of often
38.Surely still waits,
39.Even as adults40.
41.Watching you go through the dream’s gate
42.I have no way to start walking43.
44.But if it leads back to those days…45.
46.I’ll go to see you again
47.Making sure not to forget anything48.
49.Rushing to the bell of dreams, the youth ticket
50.On platform number five, bound for regret
51.Nothing can stop us now52.
53.At the bottom of my heavy bag,
54.Lay a destination from ‘someday’
55.But surely, I remained standing still
56.Having overslept it all
