Nostalgia

Do you remember??

The squeaky, tiny tricycle you rode around your room,

The little Lego Blocks which made your architecture bloom,

A high-decibel police car which went ‘Vroom Vroom”!!

Or the turn-a-key monkey who played the drum all day??

Don’t you think we’ve indeed walked a long, long way??

The times when,

You loved ‘123’, not knowing what maths had in store for you,

You knew that a cock crows, a crow caws and a cow does moo!

The head, chest, hands and legs was the only Anatomy you knew,

Or when we believed North Pole was where Elves and Santa stay??

Don’t you think we’ve indeed walked a long, long way??

Or the times when,

You loved Pokémon, until you couldn’t count them anymore, 
  Road rash, Mario and Dave made your fingers go all sore,

The capes, the masks and comics- you loved the superhero lore,

Or when you wondered if you’re simply too grown to play??

Don’t you think we’ve indeed walked a long, long way??

And also,

Kicking the football in the rain and even wishing for some more,

The lump in your throat when you saw the cute girl next door,

The insane talks with buddies, laughing, rolling on the floor,

Or the exam-eve, midnight toil-the eleventh hour fray??

Don’t you think we’ve indeed walked a long, long way??

Time’s a stupid bitch that waits for none, they say,

Before you even know it, your hair may start to grey!

Yet, we refrain to ditch the past and barely walk away…

Shit!! We’ve indeed walked a long, long way!!
