A silent wish
A lone drop of tear
A pair of folded hands
Held up in prayer

Faint sounds of laughter
Fond memories of yore
The harder you try and seek them
You end up missing them even more

You wonder where it all got lost
You wonder where it all went
An hour of trying and remembering
Leaves you feeling nothing but spent

Just one more day of school
Just one more day of scolding
Just one more day of making up
And laughing and crying

You feel penniless
In spite of earning dollars
You cant help but feel blue
Wandering amidst a sea of white collars

A break from all the tensions
To just run care-free and wild
A peaceful moment of silence
In the company of caring arms by your side

What you want is affection
A kind word
A familiar face
But no one turns around
To make you feel at home
In this human albeit rat-race

This is how you'll grow old
This is how your bones will rust
You hope that someone remembers you
Before you vanish in a cloud of dust
