The sky, I swear, was bluer then,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnOqe2mEqA
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXampisOTsa
Those were days when trains were always late,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDbJQjWymK
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPIYBjcKR6
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXVS205yw7
And laughed as though the world53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlnbCWVZOL
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFNcggQV3U
Knew love without disclaimers,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMETqURobTo
And sorrow came unnamed,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tD6AoIHC7
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxaSNmWHUg
And the hush of cafés,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrDN84PXrz
Where aspirations steamed53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZExbiEIh2j
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcOd4huboP
Every friendship, a forever,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmzc9NCntk
And each kiss53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8P0jUEMPa
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T506SXAKG
Those moments faded—53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLsV9GSNIw
Not vanished,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLeEgWqAtE
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGXKwSbzun
Not merely the brightness of age,53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXxTXLK8dW
But the ache of becoming—53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ515JYZX9YT
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
