The summers shimmered like old film reels, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAybXaShDDFV
a sepia gloss cast over mother’s kitchen,123Please respect copyright.PENANAKsjU8SsWAx
her hands kneading cookie dough, 123Please respect copyright.PENANA6kO9Zu1OK4
soft scents of sugar rising. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAWMWvRDnNeh
123Please respect copyright.PENANAYIWNd3zn59
The screen door clattered, 123Please respect copyright.PENANATmGlk8URCE

their pages curling like the ends of my sister’s hair. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAqjwRQfrgwb
123Please respect copyright.PENANAKXp4ant3MI
Cartoons flickered on boxy TVs, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAFoA6yTYZIg
their pixelated heroes as real as the worn handlebars of my bike, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAeZvmYHawOq
racing shadows down suburban streets. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAK7hecoxDOp
123Please respect copyright.PENANAXRj1nIZUsb
The world outside our cul-de-sac stretched infinite, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAYapXKrxGD2
but we stayed close: tethered by the constellations of our youth. 123Please respect copyright.PENANA3PpZK6XNC3
123Please respect copyright.PENANAr2n6wsrDv6
Camping nights held stars we claimed as our own, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAHXCgQLleXM
the firelight etching stories into our faces. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAVg3k46gwX3
123Please respect copyright.PENANAV13HLalZFX
We sang out of tune; the crickets didn’t care. 123Please respect copyright.PENANANnoNrCjZUi
123Please respect copyright.PENANAL1vxbdJuqJ
In the mornings, dew clung to tents like memory, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAQopqdLQwem
a fleeting gloss, both sharp and sweet. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAWObp7HCxdE
123Please respect copyright.PENANAODdAT2L1lF
Road trips unraveled like mixtapes: 123Please respect copyright.PENANAYCCdGLczNV
the hum of tires, static-laced pop songs, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAH395Q5Gjeo
and the unspooling map of our chatter. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAGoTxMveitv
123Please respect copyright.PENANAL5yogmGttx
Even silence held a warmth, 123Please respect copyright.PENANA0uwSX7BdOy
like the weight of a pet curled at your feet, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAfq4at9Bt3d
their breath syncing with the pulse of home. 123Please respect copyright.PENANACW8NVy31uL
123Please respect copyright.PENANAP519o907jz
Wasn’t it all so achingly alive? 123Please respect copyright.PENANAcVnwaFngmy
123Please respect copyright.PENANAaS4PyOU0sE
The air electric with nothingness and everything: 123Please respect copyright.PENANAR5kpYokFf2
an afternoon sprawled on grandmother’s couch, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAQcDBNzdHDW
the hum of a box fan drowning the world’s static, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAFDVRVKGmbO
our hands sticky with popsicle promises. 123Please respect copyright.PENANAAVwBEhEL5B
123Please respect copyright.PENANAmL0yJexa2S
Now, these moments unspool, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAoO4UJoB9yV
like glitter caught in the edges of old Polaroids. 123Please respect copyright.PENANA3A5bW017e0
123Please respect copyright.PENANApS0bvJahHc
Not gone, never gone, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAunSNjwgABA
but held in the amber light of reflection, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAeNGCYMtfXB
a time both retro and eternal, 123Please respect copyright.PENANAv2IkkIAj8E
where we were endless, 123Please respect copyright.PENANA5VXNCVhnQB
and the world shone as if it knew us.123Please respect copyright.PENANA2jJKehy8jM
