Analysis of now and then
finding my self in the forest.
with the girl of my dreams.
tell her ,she well always be there.
tell her about a story ,i once hear .
that was told to me long ago.
tell her look in the trees, what do you see .
she said nothing but trees.
the trees are alive.
thay well come for you and me ,
thay love freast meat.
she got scared.
and start to cry.
i turn to look away.
she was gone. i thought ,i saw in the trees.
so i being to run.
fast as i can. back to town i rain.
three days later. i saw her in the store .
she said the trees won't you.
come and see.
