Those were the days

Those were the days
when we laughed and danced  
running in sunlit fields
with our head  full of dreams

Those were the days
when we didn't care
if our whispers weren't soft
and we didn't pray  

Those were the days
when we counted the stars
when our hearts raced
with every adventure

Those were the days
we indulged in endless play
time stood still for us to build
pretty sandcastles everywhere

Those were the days
when our love began
subtle touch and stolen glances
we begun a story we couldn't end
  
Those were the days
when our journey started
parting at a crossroad
shadows now, ghosts of a past
