Come back to the moment. Which one? Yesterday, the day before— the sun was always brighter, remember? Come back to the moment. When? Years ago, I don’t even know. The grass is greener in memory than in the soil. Come back to the moment when my mind saw a world pristine and unraveled, ready to be walked. Please, come back, little boy I once was. Come back to the summer scent on your skin, and the raspberry taste on your lips. Yes—then. Come back, but don’t stay. [Another recurrence of The Unwritten—spilled as art. Raw expressions from an overwhelmed mind, and a trickster heart.]

But Don't Stay
Come back to the moment. Which one? Yesterday, the day before— the sun was always brighter, remember? Come back to the moment. When? Years ago, I don’t even know. The grass is greener in memory than in the soil. Come back to the moment when my mind saw a world pristine and unraveled, ready to be walked. Please, come back, little boy I once was. Come back to the summer scent on your skin, and the raspberry taste on your lips. Yes—then. Come back, but don’t stay. [Another recurrence of The Unwritten—spilled as art. Raw expressions from an overwhelmed mind, and a trickster heart.]
Memories... they shape us. A bliss and a curse. Me? I still can't tell.
