I walk a long, long way to reach this place
And dream about the bygone days..
When our hearts were light and free,
Worries, not one in sight
As we lingered here..
As if this was our paradise,
Blowing dandelions in the endless breeze
And watching the clouds take shape
As we lay on our backs
Daring not to enter the tiny gates,
For we knew, there's a secret there
And its meant to be..
So we swore, one fine noon beneath the golden sun
Never to pry in to see
If there's a cave or just a wall
Or a pot of gold or old written letters hidden there..
We've always mused~ at times, during the day,
Sometimes during the night..
Sometime in dreams they were haunting too..
This day sees me here, yet again,
Memories treasured in pockets old..
I dont see the dandelion flowers we blew,
I hear not that laughter in echoes,
As if lost with the years that flew..
Unlike these memories I hold..
And this place with mysteries fresh.
Still.. I've dared not to peep nor see,
'Cause some secrets are meant to be..
