Adventure


I


Let's become children again

and run off

stealing someone's train ticket

and fleeing to some far away ball

or hopping a ride on grand ship

we could dance to the ball music

and escape our mundane

life


We would have no worries

we could be free to live the life

we could have always dreamt of

together


Watch the world rushing by

while sitting on a daisy-filled hill

forever


The river under the bridge passes us by

The boat sends off into another adventure

The kings and queens come to greet us


II


however

we are but kids

in clothing far too big for us

like a fish out of water

we would be out of place


thinking these fantasies too much

ruins them

and that is the death of imagination

and hope

growing up


I hope it never happens to me

and I could live carefree

in another world

with you

perhaps


III


When I think of such a good life

I get taken out of it too quick

and struggle to return back

home
