The sky, I swear, was bluer then,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXBFeb0C0i
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCO9XT8Fu8
Those were days when trains were always late,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p1iiDxvdF
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHoOo8fqzh
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JkIA1jc5S
And laughed as though the world28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy3FDT6Z1S
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u2jx6Wdvk
Knew love without disclaimers,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z7MsrT6bT
And sorrow came unnamed,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp6ffzRfSU
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1w4kkaT36
And the hush of cafés,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mdf99HImI
Where aspirations steamed28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35iGvRJgQw
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bBZNlUfRl
Every friendship, a forever,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6W9C0ZJqL
And each kiss28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcOVIsIubX
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp5X1pwr0e
Those moments faded—28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmnbJfGEkr
Not vanished,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh4PHFfJn9
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeoIolYpXJ
Not merely the brightness of age,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTnScJpjaD
But the ache of becoming—28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CE9OhLbc
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
