May 2015
Walking along a straight paved path
Underneath the autumn trees
As the amber leaves began to fall
I recalled when I first felt this breeze

Glancing upon the orange dyed sky
I got reminded of what has been
Memories of you and I
Which are better left forgotten and unseen

I continued strolling...
Not knowing where I might wander off
Then I saw an old tire swing
Where the melody of love first begun to sing

I went to the picnic grove
Where we had our first lunch
Remember how we watched the afternoon turn to nigh?
We were in so much trouble, but it felt so right

Remember our mahogany tree?
The one that's all alone but looks so happy
Do you remember what you told me?
You promised that I'm the girl you'll marry

Yes, we were young, childish and silly
But I kind of took it seriously
We were kids and eventually grew up
I thought what we had was more than enough

Like our love the paved path didn't go on forever
I reached the end where our dreams withered
Strolling, the last stop I made
Was at the garden of lilies where all the promises had fade

I journey back on the path...
The path we used to walk on together
It felt a lot colder
And somewhat warmer

To cut it short, we didn't walk forever
We realized in the end we were on different roads
Now that my flashback is over
I walk the same path again with a new hand to hold
Well what I realized is that... It's alright if you and your significant other are walking on different paths. What matters is that both of you are looking and are heading towards the same direction ^-^
