i remember that kid
he was fearless
the world was his to be
conquered
i looked up from my jaunt
down mem’ry lane
i no longer recognized
the world around me
i called out a name
it fell off my tongue from
memory
a cold sadness washed over me
but my salvation wasn’t tucked into
nostalgia
i opened my eyes and
the warmth on my shoulder
was gone
a tear escaped down my cheek
as i remembered
her, and the way she felt
in my arms
i smiled
as she drifted away
come back soon, i whispered
my words falling at my feet…
