FADED RECOLLECTION

Walking past a smiling face,

Was it honest?

Was it really there?

Now, what do you see?

Do you see your reflection?

Or is it a mere memory of a long faded recollection?

That look, I know it from before,

Where did it take place?  I can't remember

When did it happen? I couldn't know

Might it be a mere minds show?

There was a time when that face was my friend,

Oh, where did you go?

Does it go by just like that?

It's true what they say, what comes around,

Goes around

Have I really lost my own reflection?

Or was it a mere recollection?

Mere minds play?

Walking past a smiling face,

A sweet recollection of the past is coming from the forgotten phase,

Was it really there?

Was it a mere memory of a long faded recollection?

Now, what do you see?

I see my youth disappear,

Like it was only my minds game,

Was it even really there?

Could you even tell?

There was a time that this smiling face was my protecting shell
