--------------------------------
in the gentle morning
the smell of french cocoa
on an autumnal day
i woke up
a bit earlier than usual

i chose a hat
(inside)in front of the looking glass
today i have a date
with you

the path that
leads to the forest
is full of fallen
leaves
it reminded me
of the first time
we kissed
and my heart throbbed

i rush up the
lane
that smells
like flowers

and the wind
sounds faintly
like a mysterious harp
you whisper sweet
words to me
and kiss me again

at this time
you're bound to hear
some music
coming from somewhere
and so
we are both
bound to swear love
to each other (forever)

when i was a child
and felt like
crying i would
walk alone in
the forest

i still remember
this sometimes
but i don't
cry anymore

when you hear
the wind whispering
when you
kiss
suddenly the magic
of a distant summer
is here again
with you
