Reminiscences
I came up lost in loneliness in a small town
My only escape was often swimming in the clouds
You were a breath of fresh air I slowly took in
A diamond in the rough, a diamond lying in ruins
I recall our summers being tame, although our emotions ran wild
I would say to you, “Let yourself be taken by whatever you desire”
What in me brought out the best in you?
I compulsively lied; you knew the truth
Our old hideout was broken down but still sound
In it, we were up in smoke; to it, we were bound
Our treasured late nights under alluring skies;
Never-ending moments turn to memories divine
Since the end I have been upset to say the least
I have learned that to cry does not make you weak
Fragile; like our adolescent fears we came apart
Have you anything to say to my nostalgic heart?
Like the sun at day’s end you made my walls come down
