You play with me<\/span><\/p>\n

Around the house<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bushes<\/span><\/p>\n

In the garden<\/span><\/p>\n

You chase me<\/span><\/p>\n

Like a treasure<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2018m your treasure<\/span><\/p>\n

It is happiness<\/span><\/p>\n

In its best memories<\/span><\/p>\n

We are innocent<\/span><\/p>\n

And playful<\/span><\/p>\n

You chase me<\/span><\/p>\n

And I laugh<\/span><\/p>\n

When you try to kiss me<\/span><\/p>\n

Around the bush<\/span><\/p>\n

I hide<\/span><\/p>\n

And you look for me<\/span><\/p>\n

In the garden<\/span><\/p>\n

I am around the corner<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the house<\/span><\/p>\n

Where the mouse<\/span><\/p>\n

Are running wild<\/span><\/p>\n

And playtime<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the best time<\/span><\/p>\n

Of my youth<\/span><\/p>\n

Then you vanish<\/span><\/p>\n

And I can\u2019t find you<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a sound<\/span><\/p>\n

Very loud bell<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re nowhere<\/span><\/p>\n

To be found<\/span><\/p>\n

I miss you<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the time has gone<\/span><\/p>\n

A long time has gone<\/span><\/p>\n

I think about you<\/span><\/p>\n

Always here<\/span><\/p>\n

In my heart<\/span><\/p>\n

Beating in my chest<\/span><\/p>\n

No sound any longer<\/span><\/p>\n

No play around the corner<\/span><\/p>\n

All have died the bushes<\/span><\/p>\n

And the mouse <\/span><\/p>\n

Is long gone<\/span><\/p>\n

You are still here<\/span><\/p>\n

But not playing with me<\/span><\/p>\n

But not chasing me<\/span><\/p>\n

Like your treasure<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m your treasure<\/span><\/p>\n

Now you appear suddenly<\/span><\/p>\n

But you look different<\/span><\/p>\n

A long time has gone<\/span><\/p>\n

You want to play<\/span><\/p>\n

But something has gone<\/span><\/p>\n

From you and from me<\/span><\/p>\n

The bushes are the same<\/span><\/p>\n

The corner and the mouse<\/span><\/p>\n

Are back from then<\/span><\/p>\n

But you are different<\/span><\/p>\n

You want to chase me<\/span><\/p>\n

But something has gone<\/span><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s called<\/span><\/p>\n

Youth<\/span><\/p>\n

You show me all your bags<\/span><\/p>\n

Full of golden metal<\/span><\/p>\n

Making that same sound<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the bell I hear no more<\/span><\/p>\n

Something has gone<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my treasure<\/span><\/p>\n

Where is your young<\/span><\/p>\n

Smile and pleasure<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
