Photographs

We were young back then,

A time we wish could stay,

All our heartache then

Would simply float away.

Our smiles in still shots

Only the best of times to last

Faded indications

Of things now gone and past.

 

We want those years back

When all we had was taking it slow

And not have to know

Where we're going.

 

Now we're all grown up,

We've thrown the childish things away -

Thrown away.

 

Though the overcast, briny

Dark clouds after day,

We need to live right now,

Not just someday.

 

Can we go, back 

To where we've been?

can we go back

To how we were, back then?

 

We were so free

We are so free

We - need - to be free

Can we be free?

You never can go back. It's

You never can go back. It's sad. Even in most cases you can never recreate those times. It's a bizarre thing, you only get to be that person, in that one place, for one moment, usually too briefly. Perhaps I could spit out some cliché about moving ahead and making the future better, but even in my head it sounds false.


Long days and pleasant nights

True.

The past doesn't really exist, and neither does the future. We only have the present. Each moment is an eternity, and death is impossible. 

And perhaps you could, but I appreciate that you knew what I meant, where I was going with this, far better than any sort of cliche. =) I hope you're doing well, darling.
