Briefly I slide back
Into the world of babydolls and teddy bears
But I cannot stay long
Adulthood pulls too strongly
And I am forced to go along

I've memorized the words
To my favorite childhood songs
But they mean less and less
As time sprints on
And with it I am forced to run

I want to go back to the beginning
Like when I was first with you
When I was first *with* you
I was so naive...
Such a blessed time

Take me back
To that time
Love me as the child I was
For a time
Hold me, Kiss me, Please me
Forget Time

It means nothing to us
And we nothing to it

I enjoyed this - as I am probably old enough to be your Grandmother, and trust me, I have my entire life continued to enjoy the child in me.  I hope I never stop.  No one should deny themselves the joy of their child within.

Nicely written.

I enjoyed this poem very much so, I think the theme is one that is written about quite a lot, yet you captured it well.

"I've memorized the words
To my favorite childhood songs
But they mean less and less
As time sprints on
And with it I am forced to run"
- forced to choose i think this is my favourite stanza, the idea of the childhood songs is in fact one that I have thought about before.

Very well written, I did enjoy reading this.
Missed reading you work!
