Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun

Basically i'm thinking about how things have changed in my life... and how the meaning of happiness is so complicated sometimes. It seems that the times when i thought i was the happiest i didn't even know it. I remember the memories and wish i was back in those days. But then again, right now could just be another memory waiting to happen, and i'll look back years from now and realize how much i enjoy my life and its simplicity.  The future freaks me out... but it also keeps me motivated today.  I don't miss high school... but i miss moments with people. i even find myself remembering people and places from middle school and earlier and its crazy. I try to take all of these little pieces of happiness and pain from my life and realize what it all means. I don't want old memories to fade away... but sometimes theres nothing you can do but move forward and hope that other people are fortunate enough to perhaps share some of the same memories.
