The summers shimmered like old film reels, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZe6Mefj2g
a sepia gloss cast over mother’s kitchen,166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDYVyxr4LE
her hands kneading cookie dough, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUYsKSW9Md
soft scents of sugar rising. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzO3i7f7xy
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLyaChswEr
The screen door clattered, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtn37VYJaQ

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpm2ad5K7x
Cartoons flickered on boxy TVs, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6elerKh3O
their pixelated heroes as real as the worn handlebars of my bike, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlpUim0kCJ
racing shadows down suburban streets. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp0Iy5IJF3

The world outside our cul-de-sac stretched infinite, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLGUXGKaqe
but we stayed close: tethered by the constellations of our youth. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfSXd1xwHH
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEyPdvoqGz

a fleeting gloss, both sharp and sweet. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDnQPbyLSb
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX6Qdq6Vj6
Road trips unraveled like mixtapes: 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxQ9SmaK5o
the hum of tires, static-laced pop songs, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu5vrutJsu
and the unspooling map of our chatter. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFznlNpvF0U
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkULlSg0C2W
Even silence held a warmth, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2aaUNecMl
like the weight of a pet curled at your feet, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UcFonMhNs
their breath syncing with the pulse of home. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOnPP3HvOI

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxfWWAHwY
The air electric with nothingness and everything: 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetwrgsk7xa
an afternoon sprawled on grandmother’s couch, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPrFu6GV1I
the hum of a box fan drowning the world’s static, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhx07dG6P9
our hands sticky with popsicle promises. 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdo6RQyUw3
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYzRTEITWV

but held in the amber light of reflection, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanRiHKuuWs
a time both retro and eternal, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDEOIGRZc1
where we were endless, 166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhGN0eJYVb
and the world shone as if it knew us.166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPRWvgmp5
