I remember
One time in a large creek or a small, barren river
I went with a friend to explore
It was in the woods behind his house
I hear the blue current coursing now
A cacophony of spring colors and sounds
It was my rabbit hole to go down
I think that was the first time I ever felt that way
Truly free
I still think about it to this day
Now, never again will we be those kids
Uploading silly YouTube vids
Our only purpose was to do that
As well as make each other laugh
Like the video of the “liger cage.\"
But it was just a trailer, with a cat
I don\'t think we\'ll ever have imagination quite like that
Similar to the river
We often found ourselves recording in the woods
Something about being out there
I think I\'d stay if I could
Always dancing with the breeze
Playing, doing what I please
At least among the trees,
I stood tall
As they looked up to me
Like anyone else
I try to keep that ‘me’ alive inside myself
But the irony would be deafening
If I kept it trapped in a cage on the shelf
We\'ll never be those kids again
Lost in a sacred time free of stress
Now we only remember when
But that\'s okay, I guess
