While some of my friends can't wait to get older, I sometimes think about going back to infancy.

Time Only Goes Forward

I wish I could go back,

Back to those careless days.

Back to when I didn’t know about such things

Like betrayal, lies, and deception.

Back to when I didn’t know how painful it could be,

How much hurt I would have to go through.

Back to when I didn’t know about loss or destruction.

Back to when the problem would go away if I ran into my mother’s arms.    

They say ignorance is bliss, and I see how it couldn’t be more true.

Oh, how wonderful it would be

If I could go back,

Back to when I didn’t know.
