When we were young

Won’t you take me back to way back when
When we were young and we’d pretend

 

To be cowboys, Indians, Kings and Queens
Millionaires and all those dreams

To be knights in armor, the dragons we killed
The kings we were at the top of the hill

You were Bonnie and I was Clyde
The room in the attic was the place we would hide

 

So won’t you take me back to way back when
When we were young and we’d pretend

 

To be warlock, witches and teller of tales
Captain of the ships with the mighty sails
We’d sail our ship on the Ocean of dreams
Searching for things that have never been seen

 

So won’t you take me back to way back when
When we were young and we’d pretend

 

Their days of yesterday, days of past
Days I thought, would always last
But all that’s left are photos and songs
And memories of when we were young.

I know by most anyone's

I know by most anyone's standards I am still very young. But this took me back to the days when we weren't made fun of for playing witches and wizzards. When it was okay to be diffrent, because in that diffrence we were all the same.

Great memories.

Love,

If your mirror doesn't find you one of the most beautiful people it has ever seen, punch it and find a better mirror.

That reminds me of the

That reminds me of the closeness between me and my best friend since kindergarten:  the closeness, an intensely delightful closeness, that we shared during through elementary school became, suddenly, subversive (according to parental authorities) when we entered adolescence, because, in our small town at that time, two adolescent boys who shared close friendships were often the target of homophobia.

Ascesa e rialzarsi fino a quando gli agnelli diventano leoni

Rise and Rise again until Lambs become lions
