I remember those childhood days,
Before the clock sped up robbing us of our sweet spell.
Our love-it was real.
But oh how innocent it all was.

God granted us a childhood unlike others.
I experienced a love I wonder that could ever be compared to the future.
Your feelings, I never knew.
Could it be I was treasured?
Or was it only the vanity of my dreams?

I remember when nature was our friend,
And we'd go on adventures hand in hand.
I remember splashing by the stream,
And playing catch in the orchard.

I remember all of you.
I remember how your blue eyes sparkled when you smiled.
I remember how your whole body shook when you laughed.
I remember our first "hi" and our last "goodbye".

So much time has passed, and now you are gone.
The love I had for you won't vanish.
But I pray with all my might
That someone better than the person I could ever be,
Might love you the way you're supposed to be.

And maybe, possibly, that person could be me.
