August 1975

We spent our days

sleeping in the summers haze

and years being together.

 

No shoes, no worry

and no need to hurry.

The time was on our side.

 

In the bright morning sun,

through sprinklers we'd run

and eat honeydew in the shade.

 

But now in fruitless meadows we cry,

fearing that those lovely memories die,

but you and I shall remain alive.

Obviously I wasn't alive in 1975, but whatever...
