I remember back in those days
When kids were friends just because they wanted to be
Before trivial things designed social boundaries
When everyone ran care-free and dazed on all life had to offer
Before we all sat alone at night
Staring out the window at nothing and thinking everything
Wondering how far away a different life was
Wondering what could be and what would never be
Posted in response to the challenge Nostalgia.
The rush of information from a single swipe
Is a current that threatens to sweep me away
Each new voice adding another issue to the many already bouncing around my head.
The late nights usually surrendered to sleep
Are instead spent rolled over on our sides
Eyelids weak and the arms that hold up our heads weaker
As we run rivers of words out of our mouths.
The portal opens in those fleeting moments that feel like they are about to crescendo, about to climb the final step to see over the mountain top.
