The sky, I swear, was bluer then,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl4W1qZ3mV
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKEl33aOli
Those were days when trains were always late,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlRokiAUbs
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBm6g0TY2
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpTrvYwhUa
And laughed as though the world45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68lxyyZXiO
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvT2Js0w2s
Knew love without disclaimers,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJOjWF8MJl
And sorrow came unnamed,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3zEYd66uZ
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pDMtj6PnB
And the hush of cafés,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HDudq53Co
Where aspirations steamed45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SS1heSYXT
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUetKriVGv5
Every friendship, a forever,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVffyg4Tr9l
And each kiss45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwceJUkLAN
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpyHbDaEv4
Those moments faded—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrA0y3LgXg
Not vanished,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa560Kc4OCP
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOGc67DwoC
Not merely the brightness of age,45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo54X3F62Ug
But the ache of becoming—45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡech0XIjT0I
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
