Reminiscent (Co-written with Rose)

I'd been waiting, not for just anyone
I'd know by the way my smile gave away
my happiness, and so it was trivial to time
or day that he should be the one to be creative
with my smiles that I so gave up willingly to
the boy with the blue eyes, the one to take my heart.

This is the place we met as young kids � �
An old playground that seemed to be everything at that age � �
I can still imagine it in my head, you blowing dandelions into the air � �
Standing there with your blond hair and white dress �
Me being so fascinated, I couldn�t help but get drawn in � �
Day after day we played, with everyday meeting with you blowing another dandelion into the air � �
The thought still makes me smile �

From sand pits to swings we'd play �
Into his blue eyes I'd stare �
giggle and share our time together �
but there'd be a time to close this chapter �
this summer's eve as the nights closed in �
I withdrew �
watched from afar my blue eyed boy �
till he stopped searching �
the passing of time seemed irrelevant �
trivial �
But each week he'd return �
The playground unused �
sand to soil to grass �
the swings grating against un oiled parts �
as I still watched from afar �

Many years have passed, yet I couldn�t get that girl out of my mind �
Thinking whatever happen to my old friend? �
I decided to start going back to that park �
To see if maybe she brought her kids around to play �
Thinking we could have some old laughs or something �
Though that would be a long shot, after all �
Still, there was something about that girl that called out to me �
So came the day I finally found her again, with a dandelion in hand �
Having me in shock, as she hadn't aged a bit �
My old friend looked at me and asked �want to play?
