The sky, I swear, was bluer then,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI0juahvhb
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yAdngqsFO
Those were days when trains were always late,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaXiVZR5Ft
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdsu2od00l
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GaSJtfuKL
And laughed as though the world78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBedw9HDpjM
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJau976V8QS
Knew love without disclaimers,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIbAUE6Ob4
And sorrow came unnamed,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAa9wrMOPt
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5qGt8ho1D
And the hush of cafés,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasYGLdFvwC
Where aspirations steamed78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35FNIDvN0q
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBGRibYsKm
Every friendship, a forever,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFdajZF3bE
And each kiss78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Gb9zgeK9
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56rI0ZdjSL
Those moments faded—78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUyaJ8qPEh
Not vanished,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOsvS0PvzV
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjM7KrF9L
Not merely the brightness of age,78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG3URtb5T8
But the ache of becoming—78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2eUu616Iv
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
