Reminising...

i want to go back to the time when nothing mattered when being daddy's little girl was the best occupation a big little woman could manage... Back when riding your bicycle across the hood was the greatest adventure Back when having a crush on a boy who sits across me during art class meant nothing but coping with being shy and clumsy when he comes around I want to go back to the time before his eyes burnt my skin when he stared at me and the time before I knew she could jump off the walls and scratch me... back to the time when she was my little star, one that shone eternally with no intension to dim Back to the time when arguments were fair and always ended with a mutual smile... I want to go back to the time when 'never' was more or less like 'could not' And when a smile from you injected me with ecstasy that i felt could last me a lifetime... Back when locking eyes with you meant we are talking the same language when reaching out for your hand soothed my heart And healed the bleeding wound whose tears never dried... I want to go back to the time when i could go to bed with a smile and wake up the same back to the time when possible was legit when dreams could come true back to the time when love was the feeling that made you warm inside yet gave you shivers and goosebumps on the outside I want to go back to the time when I was me, and that was not a sin I want to go back... back to the time when I believed the same way I could erase drawings I could also erase my mistakes and take back my words Back to the time when when a promise was sealed with a silly pledge yet meant it was for real and secrets were told in the dark so that no one can hear... I want to go back to the time when I yearned for your touch and wondered how it feels to be in your clasp Back to the time when i could carry my own cross of crucification just so i could prove you are righteous I want to go back to the time before i knew that words from your tongue could stick on my heart and do away with its tissues I want to go back to the time when time passing did not count as long as you were there with me...
