I want to live this life again,
one more time.
I want to live this life again,
with a different mind.
I want to live this life again,
same life yet changed perspective.
I want to live this life again,
same life yet renewed perception.
Living my life through my parents’ eyes would be most delightful.
Then, I should be able to love me unconditionally.
A life in which I would never have to grow up and deal with the harsh reality.
Living my life through my lover’s eyes would be truly exhilarating.
Then, I would be able to bear my intolerable self in difficult situations.
I really want to know how someone can love a person like me.
Living my life through my child’s eyes would be so gratifying.
Then, I would be able to adore myself despite all of my flaws.
For once, I would be as good as my child thinks I am.
Living my life through a stranger’s eyes would be a rather bizarre experience.
Then, I would be able to live this acquainted life all over again.
with fresh mistakes, unique apologies, new regrets, and distinct remorse this time.
Dancing to the rhythm of time;
navigating through crests and troughs of life.
I have approached the evening of life;
waiting for the night to end with a promise for a new day.
