I wish I could back in time to when I had a bright smile;
a light spirit and a heart that goes wild.
I wish I could back in time to when the sun shines amid a blue sky;
and Iris appears whenever people have done crying.
I wish I could win back my old self, the one that enjoys watching ladybirds flying.
I wish I've known you before you became a brokenhearted ghost;
I'd have sat in the same spot as yours on that moonlight beach.
Writing love poems, hoping the sea carries them till they reach your trembling feet.
I've many things to wish for, yet if I ever found a magical lamp;
I'd ask its jinni to grant me what my heart desires most.
I wish I could back in time to when my lover's eyes are still alive.
