The sky, I swear, was bluer then,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhAUTAdVZz
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK356LGp1T
Those were days when trains were always late,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWn73fGWnO
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGqsjGyiQ6
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXXH01eaga
And laughed as though the world184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzbIDRYaPp
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIejCjqokS
Knew love without disclaimers,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8jpw0eVTn
And sorrow came unnamed,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyEc8YXFJp
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjGcDsHUEe
And the hush of cafés,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPq0icoRUB
Where aspirations steamed184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzehtH4aLQq
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjowngMRMjH
Every friendship, a forever,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXOzEc7ZyN
And each kiss184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRiH99MIHO
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhZ3km1eqo
Those moments faded—184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbqSIkhver
Not vanished,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyUoDY5PtU
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiacpWq56gy
Not merely the brightness of age,184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgvx4BSMrz
But the ache of becoming—184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSAoTjpJQm
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
