When i was young and bare

Sitting by the iron window
Listening to the rattling rails
Staring at the flat side mountains
I recall when i was young and bare

There stood no meanings no reasons
Heart needed only childish explanations
Where future was just a night away
I miss when i was young and bare

I slept there with hugs and kisses
Where tears flowed until fingers touched
I only loved but never hated
I smiled when i was young and bare

A million moments away from time
Standing here in a different rhyme
Staring back at the treasure where
I lived when i was young and bare.
