It was a gloomy day
When my past was recalled
By my forgetful mind
It was like a riddle solved
As I thought for days
If what was happening was deja vu
Or if it was true in some way
That something happened with me.

I tightly closed my eyes
And pictures started to appear
All the lies
I always hear
Were justified
By the truth told by my mind.

I got lost in my world of happiness:
Past was all it mattered for me
Uncovering all the shelves,
Ensconced in oblivion
Blowing away the layers of dust,
Pulling out the obsidian
Made by vague memories
Of childhood, love and happiness
My heart skipped a beat
As if it was love I found
As love is an euphoric sickness.

All the memories flashed
In front of my forgetful mind
The day I walked between the crowd
With a balloon in my hand,
The day I cried out loud,
And decided not to sit but stand
Without moving, to fulfill my demand
Or else roll down and cry
For a pretty doll I held in hand.

I jumped around nonchalantly,
Without thinking about future
I long to live in the now
Because somehow
Our thoughts are limited
To think more about life
And not about now.

I opened the windows
To let the past's golden ray
Come in and stay
To remind me what I forgot.

I forgot my childhood
But it's not too late
I should
Open my eyes
And look at the beauty of life
Through my younger soul's vision
Because it's time I should know
That beauty is in the eyes of a child
And that being oblivious to gloomy facts
Makes life more magical and less wild.
