The sky, I swear, was bluer then,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwfX1i2R9C
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5gu3fut3o
Those were days when trains were always late,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOweC9RFOzz
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtKr0z03VZ
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSEeWl4Duf
And laughed as though the world178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w7lHNSXRi
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZY3yufJ9U
Knew love without disclaimers,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYldNfihKX
And sorrow came unnamed,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnBZRcrICn
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtqGCR8wq6
And the hush of cafés,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVuGecMur2
Where aspirations steamed178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB2rnOx3pE
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzbKIvxerv
Every friendship, a forever,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDERGoqqTI
And each kiss178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01xVe4rGWf
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5naJm3o7Wc
Those moments faded—178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd20px3nl7
Not vanished,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqHpvzbSTf
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoD4I2XxDd
Not merely the brightness of age,178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6CWpJ7Hql
But the ache of becoming—178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ZyZraLVR
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
