"Future childhood"

Future childhood

I sit on a swing,
My small hand wrapped around the metal string,
Just like I used to,
I enjoy the wind, the motion, the view.

Memories of old days pass by,
Within the blink of an eye,
I want to hold onto them longer,
But letting the past go makes me stronger.

So I enjoy the memories as they fade away,
But I know for a certain, that the best one's will stay,
Somewhere at the edge of my mind,
They will rest safe and warm and kind.

I watch the daylight fade into oblivion and dawn having the upper hand,
Clouding my thoughts until they disappeare into a sheer unknown land,
And I am left alone again, trying to sort out my mind,
Filling in the gaps to leave them defined.

Then I look at my phone, and your smile leaves me speechless,
Because it's so raw, so true and seamless,
And I realize I could relive a little of my childhood with you,
Because your energetic child within, was what kept pulling you through.

And I wonder how it can be true,
That I found someone like you.
