Two AM

It's 2am and I can't sleep
My brain decides to take me down memory lane
A lot of things have changed
I have change
Its funny how everything can just happen
In the space of one year, in the space of six months, in the space of two weeks,
 it's really crazy.
That I see the world differently
The fact that the trees don't fascinate me
 that fact that I'm no more  captivated by the sounds of birds
The fact that love is just a word
When It used to be a way of life.
They say the older you get the wiser you become
Well I disagree,  I think it's the darker you become
Now I'm wondering what went wrong
Did things actually go wrong?
Or did I just grow up?

Young romance

The romance of the leaves
Moving rhythmically to the sound of the wind
A love affair sealed by nature
What a wonderful creation
But I wonder if they will survive the thunder storm
Will they make it when the weather gets tough?
Now that it's sunshine and cool breeze
What happens when the cold night starts pouring
Would  the leaves still stick together?
Or would  they break away from each other ?
I smiled as i walked passed
Leaving them to enjoy their young romance
