Lets take it back
To the streets
Of Oakley
In the early 2000's

In those days
Of our early
Childhood
When we were young

Back then
When life
Was fun and exciting

Love
Was simple
And easy
We used to enjoy
Each others
Company
Doing all
The naughty
Things together
You were
My partner
In crime

Love
Was young and kind
We used
To appreciate
Each other
Regardless
Of background
You used
To appreciate me
You used
To appreciate
All the little things
In life
And
All the small things
I did for you
For us

Then you cared less
Of material stuff
I was ten
You were nine

I still remember
The promise ring
I gave you
At the age of thirteen
You gave me
A black watch
That day
Black was
My favorite colour
Then we knew
Nothing
Of relationship difficulties
We had no idea
Of love problems
And heartaches

You were so sweet
And innocent
Not even yourself
Thought you'd Turn
Into the person
You are today
I think...........

I knew not
That lovers could
Turn into strangers
I don't know
What happened
To us......
You started being
All moody
Giving an attitude
We stopped talking

Today
We are strangers
With history
We pass
Each other
In the streets
Like nothing ever
Happened
Between the two
Of us
But
I blame you not
I blame age
Itself

It is it
That introduced you
To this materialistic world
As we grew older
Controlled
By your desires
They  took you
Away from me...........
