A virus appeared one day
Summer was no longer ours for fun
Walks became a thing for one
Locked inside, no room to breathe
Movies all day and drinking all night
Half the money coming in
Bike rides and swimming wild
BBQs and summer wine
We opened up again
Flights cancelled, passports banned
The United Kingdom in another lockdown
Jobs have stopped or are on strong pause
The mood is dropping, life isn't as fun
Queuing for food one by one
I sit in the window and wonder
What could life have been
What adventures have we missed
As I watch the sunrise
It made me think
It made me dream
It made me sit still and finally learn how to breathe
