All that you wanted to know

Saw the redwood tree by the lake,
Reminding me of all the mistakes..

Remember the times when life was fun?
Remember the times when pain hurt less?
Remember the times when love was a dream?
Remember the times when joy was in a scream?

Now its coming down all over,
I would do anything to have it all over,
Musing memories just might hover,
But just makes me even more sober..


Remember the times when rain meant joy?
Remember the times when there were no-no boys?
Remember the times when dreams were perfect?
Remember the times when we were happy?

They all come here right now to judge me,
As if i have looted out their glee,
And I like a robin hood run around and flee,
Knowing their confrontations are silly!


Remember the times when promises were intact?
Remember the times when trust was perfect?
Remember the times when care was looming?
Remember the times when jubilance was glowing?


You could ask me like, I've been all wrong,
You could talk about me or even sing a song,
You can shake me up, rate me up or call me strong,
I've been through this for long, so prolong.

What you would do in my shoes, I know,
For a minute your words would show,
To be tormented by you is a bestow,
Things don't come easy, hence I bow.


Remember the times when enemy was a crayon stealer,
Remember the times when friend was a chocolate sharer,
Remember the times when hug was a mother's embrace,
Remember the times when clouds swam in a deep space?\

Running through amidst the sands of time,
Considering oneself as the most superior and prime,
Mankind has lost all its chimes,
Life's become an organised crime.
