Innocence

As of right now.. im on my laptop looking out the window that is overlooking into the front yard of my house. The trees' leaves of bright orange, yellow, and lime green- the colors of autumn- are gently falling into the yards of my neighbors and mine. Pretty soon the trees bearing the leaves will be bare.. and the first signs of winter will come along. Looking into my yard, the leaves are littering my yard.. and i recall the days when i was younger.. when my dad and i would rake up the leaves.. satisfied that the yard is clean of leaves.. only to find out the next morning that the yard is once again littered with more leaves. Those were the days that i will miss most.. those days of innocence.. those days where you didn't have to worry about growing up and worrying about what will be ahead of you.. those days where everything seemed right in the world.

Growing older.. I always wish for those days to come back.. to go back when i was younger and relive the innocence of childhood.. to laugh freely with the innocence of being a youngster.. but i realize now.. that as much as i wish.. it will never come true..

I sometimes wonder.. will i ever be able to relive that innocence that everyone has went through? .. before they were plunged into reality.. confused and lost.. not yet wanting to go through this passage yet? perhaps i will relive that memory of innocence one day.. in another life.. in another world.. but for now.. i will have to endure what i got plunged into.. and patiently wait until the time when i will be able to relive the days of innocence again..
