Reminiscent ( Co-written with DevilsChild)

 
 

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?
