AN: I was trying to capture the idea of Roy and Riza losing their innocence and how they can never go back to what they were as children. However, despite this, they still have each other. I'm not entirely happy how this one came out. Might play with this theme more.
3. The Way We Were
We can never go back to the way we were
Childhood has left us
And no amount of alcohol
Can possible remove these nightmares
We can never go back to the way we were
Often the laughter of children
Will remind us of our past innocence
That is if they don't remind us of blood first
But the scares have healed a little
And often it's nice to hear childhood calling
Sometimes...
I know you're thinking it too
What happened to those days?
The days were everything was in our hands
If we just believed it?
What happened to those days,
Where anything can happen
And whatever happened
It would be like the sudden
Chrysanthemum of a fireworks
We were only ascending flares at that time
Whatever came next,
Not entirely sure what it was
Would surely be beautiful
And then, it happened
Never shall we have such innocence again
Never can we ever pretend
Adulthood is miserable like that
It allows you to keep the memories
As it tempts you;
You want it, but you can never have it
Although we can never go back
To the way we were
Blissfully ignorant
Naively...naive
What we do have is this
This abstract thing
That floats in the air
We can mourn for those days together
In each other's arms
Sacrifice this for what we once were?
Maybe not.
