Oh! Sweet memory
Here you come again
Just out of nowhere
Like you first appeared
Sauntering in slowly
Light footed like air
Glancing through
Your coquettish eyes
A drop of chocolate
In the milky chalice
A song of harmony
An essence of grace
A few more runs
A few more times
Till our glances turned
To adorable stares
And so, you glowed
Everytime
Radiating through the darkness
Silently through the night
While your sniggers
Like crescent moon
Evesdropped
Through the window
Swaying in the wind
Gently through time
Speaking softly in silence
So many words
But oh! So different
I heard all the stories
But not a word at all
Till it stopped
Once and for all
So, I kept them safely
In the deepest corner of my mind
Unscathed by anything
Daydream, illusion or time
Cos some songs are better sung
In their original rhyme!
