A Child Again In Love
On a river bank and holding a flower,
Plucking the petals one by one,
There I am
Standing amiss behind a tree,
Staring at me as if I don’t see you
There you are.
I ask you a simple question
Why is life so complicated?
And you walked out slyly
Because you didn’t know I knew you were there
And you answered
If it weren’t, there would be no love
But I don’t have that anyway
I reply
And in your head I know you’re thinking
Oh but you do,
You have it from me
But I sat there so obliviously
I didn’t ever tell you
But I loved you too
That was the only secret
That I ever kept from you
And when we chased
Each other in the creek
You didn’t ever tell
That you were falling in love with me
And we were just children
They would always say
But children are the wisest
In a special kind of way
They see people for who they are
And they don’t know corruption
As personally as they will grow up to
But for now they look into each other’s souls
And choose their friends for life
You see it all started as children
When we all had our sight
But now we are blind
To the untruthful ones
We could sense it
Like we could sense that winter was here
And that a big snow was coming
But now we are so desperate
For love because it’s not so easy anymore
And we forget the simplicity of the emotion
If you love someone, let the love grow
Let it blossom like it knows no limits
And indulge in life on that feeling
That you were a child again in love
