i close my honey eyes

for 'nostalgia' is here,

my lovely dance partner

swirling me in the air

as i collapse in his arms,

kiss his crestfallen lips

'n' feel his doleful eyes

so lost in fadin' whisps

his ever soft fingertips

slowly grace my hair

and tuck a stray lock

behind my delicate ear

before taking my hand

'n' caught up in the rain

both of our souls walk

down the memory lane

across the lonely nights

'n' tear soaked pillows

the unsent love letters

written under willows

waiting on a staircase

eyes set on a shut door

and pills falling down,

rolling on a cold floor

right into your arms

filled with love 'n' care

and your soft whisper

with that magical flair

days of happy melody

when we sang our song

'n' you used to hug me

so tight 'n' for so long

sweet moments of us

rocking chairs by lake

steaming tea by sunset

meltin' like a snowflake

serenades on the radio

drivin' by country roads,

the cities 'n' the streets

under the neon boards

to those days of freedom

when we were so young

wild strokes of laughter

ringin' as melody unsung

teenage years of insanity

runnin' in parks, oh swings

hung between the trees

feelin' like we had wings

through old school days

homework, heavy bags

the lazy early mornings

misbehavin', time lags

them frowning teachers

a noise in the corridors

children runnin' about

mischief in their cores

days when i loved paint

them silly strokes of art

on torn, crumpled papers

messy shades from heart

back to that lovely time

when i toddled unsure

and fell in mama's arms

the only shelter so pure

i peep over a lovely cot

watching the li'l me sleep

a careless infant at peace

only for my mum to keep

a starry mobile hanging

over my tiny baby crib

and, just incase i drool,

around my neck, a bib :)

he looks at me 'n' smiles

my companion of years,

i press nostalgia's hand

my eyes filled with tears,

i feel lucky to have him

for you may forget me

but just know, forever
