I wish we could be young again
young with young worries,
young fears & fantasies
drowning in youth,
we complained,
we cried,
but we were free.
free to walk home from the bus stop after school
have music blaring in our eyes,
but leaving one side free to hear one another.
free to take stupid pictures,
free to act like we despise each other,
free to go on drives with no destination
free to love.
oh to have that back,
we took our youth for granted
let fears sink into our hearts
& now it’s all gone.
