Memories of the Past

Memories of the Past


Do you remember the blue summer sky?
Free of clouds and full of dreams
Our lives were so wonderful
All day long together with friends free of all worries

Do you remember the bikes that we used to ride?
I remember riding till the very end of the sunlight
All those times we fall and then got back up again
I remember all of it all the fun that was to be together

Do you remember the nights?
Nights full of games of hide and seek
And the fireflies were the only thing that shined in the dark
Also the sound of the crickets that echoes till the dawn

I remember all of that with sorrow in my heart
The way we were young and carefree
All of those memories now rest in our heads or in pictures
But I shall never forget about them

Nor will you forget about our time of joy
You remember it right?
The time when we were kids of the province
When we didn't have all those shiny technology

When we used sticks as a sort of fun
And to tell you the truth it was more fun back then than now
Even going out in the hottest hours of the days
All of that was amazing

All the games and all the laughter is what I remember the most
I remember being with you all day long and playing
You were the brother I never had and I loved you deeply because of that
Without you my childhood would have never been this awesome

So I ask you this,
Do you remember our secret place?
The place of all of our little secrets which were never told
The place we made a blood contract to be brothers forever

I remember it very well and I still go there
To remind myself for all the good old times
To feel the nostalgic felling and to know that I am old
But I visit it the most so I can remember you and me laughing

Chasing fireflies in the night
Playing with the dogs and cats in the day
Being with friends and laughing
Living the life of a child!
