Remember waking up to the smell of mothers' breakfast on the table waiting to be eaten,  while she sang her childhood songs in the kitchen?

remember being super excited to meet your friends at school but rued the moment of your eyes locking with your class teacher?

remember the love letters we would send to the people we were infatuated with because we thought they were perfect , and the gossiping we used to do about other relationships?

Remember after school afternoons were we would stall the time to go home and extend procrastination hours from school work ?

Remember when thinking that everything in the future is just a dream that would never come,  but everyday was a step closer?  
I smile...because I remember
because I counted every minute I lived,  but never took time to count how many minutes I'm dying.

oh my sweet reminece, how you are always in my mind
                   a steady friend, never to fail me when i come calling
                   a healthy dose of reminders, the good times, when
                   my life was more clear.
                   not to complain about the daily grind, for such is life
                   but to know i can visit you from time to time, makes me smile.
