It's been a while

Khúc điền dã thời thơ ấu (The Childhood Idyll) - William Bouguereau

A journey, after all, neither begins in the instant we set out, nor ends when we have reached our door step once again. 

(Ryszard Kapuscinski: Travel with Herodotus)

It has been a while
Sky has been changed
Men have been gone
Life has been tore
More tales have been told.


Then we will meet
Maybe at that same place
Smelling that same scent
Singing that same song;
Or maybe not
Since we are changed
I am no longer that kid
You grow up to be a lovely one
We have been growing apart
So differing from the songs we sang. 


It has been a while
For us, oh, my childhood!
Alas, the road is still ahead,
Which we might walk on alone.


It has been a while
Days and days and nights and nights
All flew over the cuckoo's nest
And we will meet again at last
Another tale will again be told.
