The sky, I swear, was bluer then,234Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3mkEHrSgv
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—234Please respect copyright.PENANAMaOtjczjzM
Those were days when trains were always late,234Please respect copyright.PENANAL7vH1rUcoR
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,234Please respect copyright.PENANAjoZrFQepFq
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,234Please respect copyright.PENANAp31MTUyEfW
And laughed as though the world234Please respect copyright.PENANAry9d633qeW
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,234Please respect copyright.PENANAIsFnmxLmDc
Knew love without disclaimers,234Please respect copyright.PENANAVvEeV7tcu6
And sorrow came unnamed,234Please respect copyright.PENANAoEu0P8G8RX
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells234Please respect copyright.PENANAoH1HR1nERC
And the hush of cafés,234Please respect copyright.PENANAZSK9Pev0Gj
Where aspirations steamed234Please respect copyright.PENANA4pO8253JcK
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,234Please respect copyright.PENANA5CyKh5xqDj
Every friendship, a forever,234Please respect copyright.PENANABLo6os4KMu
And each kiss234Please respect copyright.PENANANiHdGgaH5Q
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,234Please respect copyright.PENANAg4qKSn73AS
Those moments faded—234Please respect copyright.PENANAh2BtAQTYcf
Not vanished,234Please respect copyright.PENANAsMYDiUL66B
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.234Please respect copyright.PENANAIDK23aV7ks
Not merely the brightness of age,234Please respect copyright.PENANAhQC9tq4ohe
But the ache of becoming—234Please respect copyright.PENANAVqmP1Tn2kz
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
