The sky, I swear, was bluer then,232Please respect copyright.PENANANg7iSpUbMK
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—232Please respect copyright.PENANAhBTqwKEAWC
Those were days when trains were always late,232Please respect copyright.PENANAKuJumsiXf5
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,232Please respect copyright.PENANAGTgKVGOFyy
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,232Please respect copyright.PENANAbNxRZ4R8qD
And laughed as though the world232Please respect copyright.PENANAhkOn2FtNHx
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,232Please respect copyright.PENANA9rUSfar2d6
Knew love without disclaimers,232Please respect copyright.PENANA8INDnkFlfI
And sorrow came unnamed,232Please respect copyright.PENANAo9PW8DbG2E
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells232Please respect copyright.PENANAjUeEmdtUZz
And the hush of cafés,232Please respect copyright.PENANABabGtSDig0
Where aspirations steamed232Please respect copyright.PENANAUx5o0tdeT8
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,232Please respect copyright.PENANAOiQoZTZumf
Every friendship, a forever,232Please respect copyright.PENANAiQzAQnjTvk
And each kiss232Please respect copyright.PENANAyqPb8jEDZZ
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,232Please respect copyright.PENANAACQ9ALygsj
Those moments faded—232Please respect copyright.PENANAbz8TXz86tM
Not vanished,232Please respect copyright.PENANAkolBrgagix
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.232Please respect copyright.PENANAefEN5QWSlV
Not merely the brightness of age,232Please respect copyright.PENANAqRxm3aceEZ
But the ache of becoming—232Please respect copyright.PENANASsZTsUC3CV
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
