Reflecting on Carefree days

Looking deep into your invitingly, 
warm, brown eyes, I suddenly felt 
intoxicated, as if I were drunk,
Drunk, dizzy, and unbalanced,
Unbalanced, I stumbled right into an 
old tree,
Tree, it wasn’t any old tree; it was 
the tall palm tree, our secret meeting 
place.

Place, a heart-shaped rose garden, 
where endless hours of daydreaming 
and making plans,
Plans of things and places we
would visit and explore,
Explore and wander through some
of those great cities around the 
world,
World! That wonderful world was our 
dream. How nice if I could return to 
those old, carefree, lazy days.

Days where we could just lay in the 
warm tropical sun, listening to our 
favourite love songs, enjoying the 
cool sea breeze, oblivious to time, 
drifting us right into 
sunset,
Sunset worked its magic on our 
souls, inciting feelings of romance,
Romance, throughout our romantic
phase, you were thoughtful and 
generous, and always did everything 
with great love.
Love, our love was blooming 
beautifully like a Rose garden in 
Springtime,
Springtime sadly doesn’t last forever,

Forever wasn’t meant for you and me,
Me and you, it was our destiny to 
meet and then part, 
But alone and abandoned, I could 
never be, for in my heart, 
Those unforgettable memories of 
the “us” dwell in a perpetual embrace, 
undisturbed in eternal bliss.
