Where We Never Look--The Forgotten Places

Vanilla

I was messing around with my friends,

Getting in everyone's way to no end.

I was pushed, and stumbled back into the crowd.

Time stopped; I hadn't known it was allowed.

A simple smell touched my nose,

That of vanilla, wild as rose.

I spotted a girl, with a vanilla'ish smile

And wanted to follow her many a mile.

But I blinked, and she had passed.

My glimpse of her did not last.

I search on and on for the girl of wild vanilla

But I can't find her, as much as I wanna...

Just proving that some moments are to stay

When others are "Think fast, catch her today."

I regret blinking, least I could've seen where she'd gone.

I wish to find her some day, that beautiful girl of dawn.
