Childish

I was young and innocent.
I was a child thought that I was in love.
Placing your picture in front of the me, drawing hearts all over your face.
I once thought you were my everything.
My love; my heart; my soulmate; my sunshine, my life.
I make funny faces to make you laugh.
I fall from the stairs just to have you look at me.
I walk a distance just to say "hi".
I honestly thought I would marry you,
I dream to become your wife, I dream to make you a family.
Years after years, I believe in the same dream.
Until one day, you left me, going so far away.
All of a sudden, I realize it was a childhood fantasy.
It was just a childish dream .
It's a game each child meant to play.
I'm no exception, I was though innocent, so childlike.
Many years gone by, I sometimes still think of you.
But I wished I never did, these memories sometimes hurt me
Yet with these dreams, my childhood was complete.
I guess I still have thought about you.
But you were now somewhere out there, I wonder maybe I just missed you sometime
somewhere on the street.
I cannot recognize you.
But the past memories, I promise, I will forever keep, they are, forever so sweet!
