I wish you met me
When the sky was always blue
When the trees,
The starry nights,
The scent of apple blossoms
Were fresh like the youthful me
I wish you met me
When my heart was filled with dreams
When my lips were full of happiness
When my skin was fresh as a daisy in the spring
I wish you met me
When my skirt grazed against the sunflowers in fun-filled summer
When my eyes were ablaze with autumn colors
When my hands glittered with snow
I wish you met me
When my heart was as wild as the wind
So I could look to you for guidance
In the quietness of the night;
And as I was turning cold with despair,
I could lean on you with cherished dreams of delight
Now
Whenever
I get gloomy with life’s events
I wonder
How would my life be different with you
