Do you remember being young and alive
Dancing in time with the beating of your
Heart
Pounding
Roaring
Drowning in emotion
Each moment fiercely its own
Each breath worth living
Do you remember what it feels like to be young and in
Love
Nothing else exists
The world stops
Just two hearts and souls colliding
In the only way they know how
Do you remember stumbling through life
Laughing with no care into the wind
Knowing significantly more about life
And yet so much less
The simplicity of it not yet deprived
Of broken dreams
Shattered glass
The knowledge clouding the basic truths
The complexities hiding the simple joys and moments
Oh life became so unshakingly clear
When did we start chasing the things
That do not matter
Our lives
Heads heavy in our hands
Worries spreading through our minds like a disease
Do we ever long for forever
Knowing it’ll never last
But not caring
Bring us back
To the unashamed dancing
Stay up late dwelling on mysteries
Till our lids won’t lift
But our hearts are full
The electricity
Awaken once again
The excitement
And painfully aware of our surroundings
Till we know things in throbbing detail
Know ourselves
And the light trickling through the window
Everything will be alright again someday
Trust me
And you’ll know how
To regain
The eyes of youth
Alive breaking through a cocoon
To the most beautiful
Metamorphosis
