The sky, I swear, was bluer then,148Please respect copyright.PENANARXQ0OuSLnY
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—148Please respect copyright.PENANAxS62E05s4Q
Those were days when trains were always late,148Please respect copyright.PENANASnDvklXYM5
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,148Please respect copyright.PENANAhDpPrnM27m
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,148Please respect copyright.PENANA3GSDtj16ah
And laughed as though the world148Please respect copyright.PENANAwZvOJlxk2d
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,148Please respect copyright.PENANAk6IOXi4AKQ
Knew love without disclaimers,148Please respect copyright.PENANArFkNTy9lMG
And sorrow came unnamed,148Please respect copyright.PENANARGDf8UOQFO
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells148Please respect copyright.PENANATM574WJhU9
And the hush of cafés,148Please respect copyright.PENANAkOVqFWpslX
Where aspirations steamed148Please respect copyright.PENANAe74vYPnGRW
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,148Please respect copyright.PENANAt8UxlygXq8
Every friendship, a forever,148Please respect copyright.PENANALOQOe4eAww
And each kiss148Please respect copyright.PENANAItu2U83jRi
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,148Please respect copyright.PENANAp51pT4Ujhf
Those moments faded—148Please respect copyright.PENANAbCwW7OANWi
Not vanished,148Please respect copyright.PENANAkprXsHCsgn
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.148Please respect copyright.PENANAucSKnGlFzA
Not merely the brightness of age,148Please respect copyright.PENANANN9Vay63Zt
But the ache of becoming—148Please respect copyright.PENANAn95cUnsbS4
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
