We danced amongst the daffodils And mingled with the scents Our nostrils were strangely ambushed By the flower garden through the fence A timeless little treasure trove All hidden behind the house And then we played hide and seek Using our cunning and all our nouse I hid down on the river bank Behind a large crooked tree Listening to your heavy footsteps As you playfully tried to find me And then all became eerily silent The smell of burning hung in the air You had gone and completely disappeared To a place I still donβt know where Thirty years on from that day I sit in my own wandering mind Wondering who took you from me To face the loneliness and hurt left behind I never give up hope A kindred spirit doesn't really leave Iβll just keep my fingers crossed And not allow myself to stop or believe
