The sky, I swear, was bluer then,46Please respect copyright.PENANA5bzRhtm1Vh
Or perhaps that’s how I choose to remember—46Please respect copyright.PENANAsCyk7Hq0dZ
Those were days when trains were always late,46Please respect copyright.PENANAy6w4Z56hpo
And dreams often missed their stop.
We spoke in promises, never in plans,46Please respect copyright.PENANABsUTE79kLb
Etched our hopes in chalk along quiet streets,46Please respect copyright.PENANAuq2EnopVOl
And laughed as though the world46Please respect copyright.PENANAQO3cemSq0i
Were made entirely of summer evenings.
Our hearts, unburdened,46Please respect copyright.PENANAXGJUIVIMjz
Knew love without disclaimers,46Please respect copyright.PENANAmBUDJGG5eg
And sorrow came unnamed,46Please respect copyright.PENANAEI0i8xbnbf
Gentle in its arrival.
We lived between the chime of bells46Please respect copyright.PENANANnEkpUroqf
And the hush of cafés,46Please respect copyright.PENANAWpJx7hYEYO
Where aspirations steamed46Please respect copyright.PENANAIwADKZKNEw
From mugs held too long, too tightly.
Every goodbye felt temporary,46Please respect copyright.PENANAd2QxuT20YF
Every friendship, a forever,46Please respect copyright.PENANA9CDyD1ruH0
And each kiss46Please respect copyright.PENANAIAuR7GXgCu
A tiny rebellion against the ticking clock.
But like rain slipping from forgotten rooftops,46Please respect copyright.PENANAfsdDbfs8lc
Those moments faded—46Please respect copyright.PENANAMZfKnd70Qk
Not vanished,46Please respect copyright.PENANA31BupDrkok
Only softened by time’s patient hands.
That was youth.46Please respect copyright.PENANAHYfQcJ4lUP
Not merely the brightness of age,46Please respect copyright.PENANAQDYE73Vkoo
But the ache of becoming—46Please respect copyright.PENANAzBEY7AJ6UV
The quiet pain of growing into ourselves.
