north and south

how long has it been since i saw that smile
is that for real or just an attempt to beguile
i was taken back and thought for awhile
i was never used to you not being hostile

time passes by so fast yet i can still remember
all the colors on that particular day in september
but nothing of this earth lasts longer than forever
we just shrug those things, we forget, whatever

i look at those eyes that seemed to consume me
shattering my thoughts into a million debris
i stop and wait up to a tolerable degree
then i felt being yanked back towards reality

there i was trying to gather my wandering senses
which have seemed to wander out of the fences
we really have to stop all these pretenses
then maybe we can drop all these defenses
