Memories of the past
It was such a blast
But you blink and its all flown by
Remember chillin' on the corner laughing at the guys?
Not thinking about a job, or the struggle, or  the how-to's of the hustle.
Listening to music and dreaming such and such.
When the black outs would come on the streets,  and we got to be ninjas as we all roamed the street
Christmas with family getting told 'you're so big'
Nowadays these kids have kids
Stealing kisses in the shadows of the day
We were innocent once
Looking the world in wonder and chasing everyday
Never had time to wonder if someone was gay.
Times changing fast
Seconds to months and we barely understand
Childhoods lost in photos staring back with knowing smiles.
Look around
Today is the past, isn't that wild?

They say a soul mate is there forever
Like going to a store and finding the best sweater
Yet I feel blown away by this weather
Boys claim to be men, but the men are no better
Is this the life?
What true love is meant to be?
Or am I the special one to wait and see?
A heart that beats a song of regret.
Brain that says maybe is better yet.
But as i sit here trying to forget.
I feel my eyes wondering to someone I just met.
