Things from That Time

Back then,
so many things seemed beautiful and out of reach.
But now, looking back,
how many of those things have lost their shine?
And yet,
what belonged to that time
can never be held again.
As a child,
everything in the world felt larger than life,
too big to grasp.
Everything I saw sparkled with wonder.
But now I realize—
it wasn’t the world itself that shone the brightest,
it was the curiosity and dreams
that filled my heart.
It was that feeling.
