Child Has Gone

Years have passed like centuries
Through which I lived as in dream
Futile quests and sweet delusions
Till the day I realized
Golden age's bygone
Leaving just a memory

Walked the path with such easiness
Enjoyed naïve ecstasy
Haven't seen the flowing sands of time
Till the day I realized
Golden age's bygone
Leaving just a memory

Must live by my own
I just wish I've never grown
Stop that clock and
Take delight in total stagnation
Child has gone
Never to return
