When I was little,
I went out to play as if nothing mattered.
When I was volunteering,
I went out to do my job as if every step mattered.
When I was little,
I asked my parent to take me to an amusement park like there should be my place to be.
When I was volunteering,
I asked my parent to take me to the beach like there should be my place to be without obeying to the dress code.
When I was little,
The Internet is a chest where games located like that is the only thing on the web.
When I was volunteering,
The Internet is a chest where you can find the answers to the question like "How to take care of a kid?"
When I was little,
A day means 24 hours like a day supposed to be.
When I was volunteering,
A day means 24 hours, but it felt like I haven't slept for a year.
Don't you believe me?
Then travel through time and ask me when I was asleep,
And don't say I didn't warn you if I punched you in the face with a pillow.
When I was with a kid,
She told me how wonderful it was when she went to Six Flags with her parents.
That was the time when I suddenly realized that I hadn't been to any amusement parks for years.
When I was with a kid,
She asked me to draw a Pikachu on a piece of blank paper.
That was the time when the wave of memory occurred to me that I hadn't painted such lovely things for years.
When I was with a kid,
She put bread crumbs on the ground and fed them to the pigeons in the blink of an eye.
That was the time when I unanticipatedly remembered that I used to do the same thing in Taibai square in China, and now I haven't been back for years.
When I am no longer a child,
I can tell I've lost something in time.
Maybe it's my inner child.
Maybe it's my passion for doing meaningless things.
Or maybe I just lost the time itself.
When I am no longer a child,
I was a child,
once.
