1234 and 5

1234 & 5
                 These were the years we had
                 How can I forget those creamy
                 years?
                 Wining, dinning, dancing and 
                 chatting
                 These memories are stock inside 
                 of  me

       
                Please, let's travel back to what 
                we had
                May be, they weren't enough
                for me
                So I pray, we repeat history
                together!
                Can we talk more about
                Friday 23rd Of  July?
                Let's meet at the old store 
                like old time, 1800 hours!

               I'm there, but I can't see you
               It's dark out here and I can't 
               see Properly
               Please give me a sign
               that you are out there
               I want to see the beautiful blue gown
               You always wore during picnic.
         
               Someone just waved, 
               Are you the one?
               No it's not you.
               She's got blue eyes,
               You have brown eyes.
      
               Please where are you?
               I've been waiting
               Why am I so scared?
               I'm now at your house knocking,
               But no respond from anyone.
       
               Your neighbours are now starring 
               At me Like a total stranger 
                they haven't seen before,
                Just one was bold enough
                to tell me that You are no more
                But I didn't believe him
        
                This is the 3rd time 
                I am hearing this,
                But I refused to believe it's true
                even after visiting your new
                 home, grave.
      
                 Please come back, 
                 I wish to see
                 your face again
                 1234 & 5! 
                 Were the years we had.
      
       

In loving memory of
Esther Johnson
 RIP
