226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12nvPrAW5C
The summers shimmered like old film reels, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCzAug7mB
a sepia gloss cast over mother’s kitchen,226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkS1OGbMC2
her hands kneading cookie dough, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc0OZLRIXh
soft scents of sugar rising. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06FtVhXJau
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd35jkPsE7J
The screen door clattered, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt38ziN1CHO
and the sweet smell mingled with chlorine from grandmother’s pool, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fmcOt7Lv4
where cousins cannonballed into echoes of laughter. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsvGhZfAlw
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCyQHy5Lar
The afternoons spilled across paperbacks, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn6ccarzGa
their pages curling like the ends of my sister’s hair. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP5Vkc77jY
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOwOd4mOVM
Cartoons flickered on boxy TVs, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneGo7o9sgT
their pixelated heroes as real as the worn handlebars of my bike, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxGY17x30
racing shadows down suburban streets. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MckdUiQ0U
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjeKJ9w8jD
The world outside our cul-de-sac stretched infinite, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdbXhkRMtP
but we stayed close: tethered by the constellations of our youth. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeufdwcbSn
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWa1uzEQQq
Camping nights held stars we claimed as our own, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5BZAkcOxa
the firelight etching stories into our faces. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAnHEfZY4
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ95hMsaKh1
We sang out of tune; the crickets didn’t care. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepyT2MJXJT
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCj6JWU89o
In the mornings, dew clung to tents like memory, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkQ6mBSxKH
a fleeting gloss, both sharp and sweet. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4GDZ4ImW0
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5k1fBL0M6
Road trips unraveled like mixtapes: 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9KrbVwft2
the hum of tires, static-laced pop songs, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwWmhWNuW8
and the unspooling map of our chatter. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiQLTvf20R
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1QWxCaZf
Even silence held a warmth, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZrGPHTtxZ
like the weight of a pet curled at your feet, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4vXWDwQ0x
their breath syncing with the pulse of home. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDA1EAUaCk
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLXOkbsOgX
Wasn’t it all so achingly alive? 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAaect4Jkp
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuaHREb1D3
The air electric with nothingness and everything: 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtD6NIGG07
an afternoon sprawled on grandmother’s couch, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbwq0JXPd
the hum of a box fan drowning the world’s static, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqKTjTEC5I
our hands sticky with popsicle promises. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFAdoNlVvh
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKiKa671iu
Now, these moments unspool, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuH0C6ej8l
like glitter caught in the edges of old Polaroids. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirngU9Zsu4
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLH7XQ2UR
Not gone, never gone, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QfUoZFn4F
but held in the amber light of reflection, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLv6Jmdb8b
a time both retro and eternal, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4dUKtkh5E
where we were endless, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi6CXLbMT8
and the world shone as if it knew us.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAdRCmjLga
