My heart still flutters around you

My heart still flutters around you:

In the lonely swing in your school,
Where I spent summer afternoons,
Swinging away under the trees,
Watching the squirrels scamper up and down.

My heart still flutters around you:

By the window sill of your office room,
Where I would search for your presence,
The noble teacher, complete,
With spectacles, pen and paper sheets.

My heart still flutters around you:

Swinging on the gates of our old home,
My eyes would search the crowd on the road,
To single you out walking back home,
To run and greet you, as you turn the corner

My heart still flutters around you:

Sipping coffee over our kitchen table,
Sharing stories of both our worlds,
Your teachers, and my friends,
Your students and my professors,

My heart still flutters around you:

On the second step of our meager backyard,
You sitting with your paper bundles,
Me playing by your foot,
Totaling up the marks for your students

My heart still flutters around you:

In the, backyard with you by my side,
Plaiting my hair with all the care and love,
Where today your plants sway for the winds
My memories sway with them too.

My heart still flutters around you:

On my bike on the streets to your school,
Rushing in the morning frenzy,
Sometimes through rains,
Sometimes through sun.

My heart still flutters around you:

Without you where would I be?
The fingers that worked, so mine could create music,
The feet that toiled, so mine could climb higher.
The heart that prayed, so mine would be safer,

Miles apart, and worlds apart,
Time has flown, and Ages have passed,
I may no longer hold your finger,

But my heart still flutters around you.
