Lost

As I lay on my bed, I suddenly recalled my teen years.

And as I fast forward every scene I see in my mind, I suddenly saw what I had lost.

As I fast forward to the present, I realised I am already in my mid-20s.

I cannot quite see my accomplishments in work.

And there’s no one dear by my side when I fall and am vulnerable.

I cried bitterly because I cannot face the reality. I think I had lost far too much time.

Between ego and happiness, which would you choose?

I chose to love myself more. But I lost time.
