Sometimes

Sometimes, I wish I couldn't remember

Sometimes, I wish I'd never forget

Sometimes, I'm glad I returned to render

Sometimes, it's my only regret

Sometimes, I see myself strong, fearless, and ready for the fight in the night

Sometimes, I just want to stay away and get a touch of real life

Sometimes, I see him as the soulless monster

Once set on killing me

Sometimes, the loving man, who has countlessly saved me,

Is the only one I see

Sometimes, I wish I could be normal, have a normal life, and be carefree

But, then I realize without all that has happened I wouldn't be me.
