have you ever?

have you ever wished that you could turn back time? have you ever wished that you could just have one more day? have you ever wished that you said yes? have you ever wished that you could turn around and redo what you had done? have you ever wished that you said what you did not? have you ever...?

i have. i know its foolish. cause these are all just empty wishes.

yes, maybe on that day if i had done something more, said something more, stayed a little longer, things might not be the same as it is today, or maybe not.
yes, maybe on that day if i had done something more, said something more, satyed a little longer, i might have created more memories to keep today..
but i must be contented.

having wishes like those means i regret for all that i had done. yes, i do regret to a certain extend for things that i did not do and did not say, but i should be happy for the things that i did and things that i said, though might not be enough but at least i said something rather than nothing.

imperfection are sometimes the perfect solution. maybe for those imperfection that we had done, we have what we have today.

now, i figured, why turn back time? - special moments and memories are no more special anymore if repeated twice or more. its only special because it can only happen once in lifetime, and one time only. why wish to redo what you had done? - its only special today because of the spontaneous act you did on that day, if you can now go back and redo it, the special element would be lost. if you had done a great mistake that you truly regret, don't wish to change it and take it back, you should know that you deserve the result today as a punishment.

one thing is for sure, never wish for a chance to change the past, always wish for a chance (and many many more chances) to create more future, more special memories. more spontaneous special moments. unexpected memories.
they are always more special than expected ones. besides, wishing for a chance to change the past can never come true, it only can make you feel awful.


start wishing, people. never stop.
