The ghost of my childhood
Came to meet me last night,
She said that I'd changed-
No longer the girl she used to know.
She danced and laughed and sang,
She asked me if I remembered,
I smiled and nodded happily,
How I wished I could return.
Her little girl plaits and dress
Went up and down as she jumped.
She seemed so happy back then
That had once been me.
The ghost of my childhood
Met the yet-to-be-born adult,
Told her what it was like before.
They made a pact: the teenage me.
