The sky, I swear, was bluer then,86Please respect copyright.PENANAx2SHkppJPZ
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—86Please respect copyright.PENANABeXwPEW7MC
Those were days when trains were always late,86Please respect copyright.PENANAVTBmkUg1zG
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,86Please respect copyright.PENANAJQPSoEt153
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,86Please respect copyright.PENANAhEXTRQSm3x
And laughed as though the world86Please respect copyright.PENANAGxTj1oCuSZ
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,86Please respect copyright.PENANA76QfKMxpOQ
Knew love without disclaimers,86Please respect copyright.PENANAXeGLX80FfV
And sorrow came unnamed,86Please respect copyright.PENANAR5q51AA1cC
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells86Please respect copyright.PENANAz7Oew8ueDS
And the hush of cafés,86Please respect copyright.PENANAHkZfYt6QOg
Where aspirations steamed86Please respect copyright.PENANAcXfggvVGLv
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,86Please respect copyright.PENANAp6JcUOjXZW
Every friendship, a forever,86Please respect copyright.PENANASIb6V7uKE4
And each kiss86Please respect copyright.PENANAANsYy77EQ3
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,86Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZOwK4ehR2
Those moments faded—86Please respect copyright.PENANAo1jvrUWHkk
Not vanished,86Please respect copyright.PENANAzZv3dKF9je
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.86Please respect copyright.PENANAk8bwcbUKFk
Not merely the brightness of age,86Please respect copyright.PENANA1wdAtXab96
But the ache of becoming—86Please respect copyright.PENANAkwtHotjrKd
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
