I remember when the world was huge when my small town was all I knew I remember when I knew no worry and when I still knew you I remember the days of before before I could imagine a life complex I remember the days before I had to worry about life, love, loss and *** when falling in love happened on a weekly basis I remember when my fears were faceless I remember when time would pass so slow when hours felt like days sipping lemonade on the swings, in the summer's thick haze I remember the cool crisp mornings of September's first weeks and the hot afternoons reminiscent of summer walking home from school, longing for the beach I remember playing games, and doing cart wheels on the lawn when the leaves were all different colours and the snow forts I'd build after the leaves were gone I remember racing down the hill on sleds, crazy carpets, boxes; what ever we could find rushing home, after laughing till you almost peed your pants hoping you'd make it in time I remember being so happy, not a care in mind I remember being a kid, and growing up impossibly fast and having to say goodbye at the age of nine.
