Bygone days

I wish I had pictures. 

My first day of attending college from a hotel room.

The long commutes on Jalan Ampang

I wish I was grateful then.

I wish I didn’t sulk and miss my “friends”

I wish I kept my mind open

I wish I attempted to like the culture and language,

I wish I used that time

To enjoy the youth and freedom I had then

Instead of whine and pine

For a life, that the Universe eventually conspired. 

Im a person who leave no regrets

I give it all, I give it my best,

Because who better than I, knows

That once time passes, its truly all gone. 

For a very long time,

Like a silly soul,

I engraved me in a negative mould.

I thought it was the best driver,

And then ma explained, it will only make me tired.

She asked me to prove myself to me,

That I only need to worry,

Let the World see me shine,

When its the right time. 

I wish I was less serius,

I wish I spent more time making friends,

I wish I had an open mind,

I wish I made better use of time. 

Bygone days : I seldom regret

But my student life is something I wish I could get

Again and again and again I’d try

To make more memories of joy!
