It was right here
look very carefully,
can't recall its culmination
misplaced it in a dally

I remember having it,
smiling at me,
touch it and it would recoil
like a diffident flower,
under drops of rain
with eyes shut tight
it would look up for the stars,
when it would smile
it would sparkle
the innards of its heart,
for tear filled eyes
the sound of mother's feet
was its purest art,
twilight would settle in
against the tantrums
and rumblings of friends,
a penny in those tiny hands
would make it rush
for comics to the world's end,
to every television add
"please bring me this dad"
was its enduring reaction,
barely open lazy eyes in the morning
would fight with mom for just
two more minutes of sleep filled elation,

I could be sure
it was right here,
It slipped like sand
from my tiny clenched hand,
I looked and crushed
to realise in the end,
I lost it is clear,
all it left is a tear,
my innocence so dear,
my innocence, so dear

It's my special place
where I talk to people
I'm not afraid
of the dark and lone
I find my solace
                 ...in the thoughts that race
When I open my eyes
                 ...I find it gone
Don't take it away from me
my right to be alone
It's my special place
where I talk to people
where I am me
and the people is me
It makes me smile
It makes me sad
but it's my special place
and it's all myself
It's where I hide
It's where I belong
It’s where I live,
where I am never alone

As my small fingers,
try to fit through yours
more than words,
eyes express through silence for hours

Seeing you
in vain,
petty,
petty feels
my pain

You start a playlist
of good old rock songs
open a book
and start reading it along
you get up for a cup of coffee and,
you realize the songs
have stopped playing,
the playlist is over,
probably for long has been
That's when you know,
you know,
you got lost in your love
you are going to feel sad,
when it nears its end,
you are going to lose
a true best friend,
only to make
a new one again.

You smiled at me
with a beaming hope,
that I would make the world
an upward *****
It will be difficult to climb
but in the end,
I know,
it's where you want to elope

A smile for a smile,
a tear for one
A pinch of reality,
innocence come undone
Yes, at the top,
there will be love,
and trees,
and flowers,
and chocolates my dear one

You looked up and asked,
with eyes big and white
if,
I would climb there with you alright
with a gentle smile,
a kiss on your forehead
Just open your heart,
I will be in sight

There you are,
I have to look up at you now
you tell me the world here,
is happy and pure
you explore and yet,
there is so much to know
But now you have the strength,
to understand it so
