I let go of the small stair railing, standing in the attic. Memories of my childhood unfold like a panorama, as time weaves through the cracks.

I brush off the dust and there you are, my old doll. Just looking at you makes me smile, with your colorful beads and bright hues.

We used to sing together with a gentle breath. I’m sorry, little girl, I forgot and grew up. The distant longing remains like stars, oh I’m so sorry, let’s play in dreams.

Left in a corner without warmth, were you waiting for me? Let’s play in dreams. As I grew, you seemed to shrink, and without realizing, I pushed you away.

For some reason, the afternoon felt long, the sun was lazy. Holding you tightly, I remember my childhood naps, just looking at you makes me smile.

On days I cried with jealousy, tears streaming down my cheeks, my doll would comfort me, whispering not to cry. I’m sorry, I forgot and grew up.
