Innocent love.
It seemed a gift,
From the above.
My little heart would lift,
Whenever you were near.
I didn't realize it then,
How I thought you dear.
When I was seven years of age,
I thought I knew all.
'We're only friends at a close stage.'
I thought I was standing tall.
I really was a fool,
To hide those feelings.
I thought love uncool,
And not worth dealings.
We held hands
We danced together
We explored 'new' lands.
Played in rainy weather.
What happened to that purity?
Why did I have to move?
We thought it a surety,
That we'd never remove,
From each other.
Beautiful youth.
Before innocence faded.
Before horrible truth.
Purity now jaded.
I miss those days,
Full of giggles and grins.
Now all a wonderful haze
One journey ends another begins.
Author notes
My best friend and I, James, were incredibly close and he was my first crush. We were always together, but then I moved away and I haven't seen him since I was nine. Yeah depressing, but I have to look back teary eyed and think 'Why isn't life as simple as it was then?' I liked him so I told him and he just smiled and nodded. Why can't I do that now and not feel ashamed? Funny how age changes your train of thought.

Wow Sorath. This is an amazing piece of art. You're such a gifted poet, this poem moved me and I felt every word you poured out from your weeping heart. Why can't life be simple? That would be brilliant if it could be. The title captivated me. The last verse "I miss those days,
Full of giggles and grins.
Now all a wonderful haze
One journey ends another begins." was deep. Well done Sorath!
