Childhood Revisited

We have such fond memories of our childhood

When we chat it all seemed so good

Playing kiss chase around the yard

At valentines crafting a card

We used to have such fun I know

But would it be fun now we’re grown?

You’d yank on my pigtails and pull funny faces

We’d dart and dash and run silly races

That note you left me touched my heart

Asking if I would meet you in the park

It was so sweet when we were small

But would it be sweet now we are tall?

When I didn’t arrive it broke your heart

As a young boy you were torn apart

If I’d have known I would have come

And maybe loves young dream begun

We can’t go back and change that moment

But can we revisit it as adults?

You tell me the heart of that boy, eleven

Still lives inside now you’re 27

You’ve never got over me, your very first crush

Hearing you say it was such a rush

The feelings you felt were strong and true

But did I feel the same about you?

I remember us smiling and being flirtatious

You dating another and me feeling jealous

I’ve thought about you over the years

Wondered what he’s doing and where he is

Is it time for us to be one at last

Or should we leave the past in the past?
