Candles lit, And the lights are low, “Night Moves” By Bob Seger Set the background tune… This is a perfect moment Just waiting to happen. Reminiscing about Smokey shot-gun kisses, And long nights I can’t forget… Staying up Just talking… We’d go on and on About whatever We could think up… Still those days have past, You and I Have moved on, Leaving times Such as these In the dust. Candles are glowing, And all sources of light Are dimmed… “Alive” By Adelitas Way Plays over and over Like a Goo Goo Dolls song I used to sing… Taking me back to Standing out on the slow songs, At all the school dances… Reminding me, I’ll always be this Hopeless Romantic… Someday I’ll find him, But for now, I just dream… Candles start to flicker, And the lights in the room Begin to get dimmer, As the sun begins to set outside The song “I Will Be There” By Art Of Dying Is ringing out my laptop screen, My mind starts to dream, Back to the days of childhood fun, Back in the day, When we would run around Like we ran the West Side of town. Riding our bikes up East Pass Just to hang around The Walgreens and Papa John’s Having fun And forgetting, Someday we’ll grow up… Sitting on my apartment floor, All grown up And on my own… I light one more candle, The Guardian Angel lights up, Sometimes I just Have to remind myself, I’m not alone… This new place, Isn’t far from home, But every now and then, I have to remind me, It’s not too far away… Same goes for all these memories, They’ll always be here, Sitting in my heart Waiting for someone To ignite them And let them burn So when I return, They’ll be warm and cozy, Making these four walls, A little less scary…

Candle Lit Memories
Candles lit, And the lights are low, “Night Moves” By Bob Seger Set the background tune… This is a perfect moment Just waiting to happen. Reminiscing about Smokey shot-gun kisses, And long nights I can’t forget… Staying up Just talking… We’d go on and on About whatever We could think up… Still those days have past, You and I Have moved on, Leaving times Such as these In the dust.

basically about what it's like to know you are indeed growing up and the adjusting it can take to be comfortable with it.
