Like Them

I listened to their conversation and for a moment, I just wished I was that naïve. I wished I could say silly things like that. I wish I was able to say whatever’s on my mind without thinking, without being scared of judgment. I wished I knew as little as them. I wished I barely understood. I wished my world was as simple as they saw it, and my most important concern was which ice-cream flavor to choose. I wish I was so carefree that innocence was all what could be seen in my eyes and it was all that was heard in my laughter. Just like them. I wish I was able to run until I was breathless. I wish I was able to play till I had dirt in my hair and I didn’t care. like them.
