Nostalgia
8.10.4
I laid there thinking of all the times long gone
And all the times where fun was not an option – it was a given.
And now I sit here thinking of laying there
Thinking of dreaming about the times long gone.
Everything was oh so perfect in those teenage days
The teenage days that soon will come to an end.
And though those days are still ongoing
My mind gave up the teenage state long, long ago.
But how much fun and how much ***t
All those years did bring me
Is worth more than a million years’ worth of love
And blood
And family;
It taught me how to live
It taught me how to interact with other people
Older, wiser, smarter than I.
And soon enough I will leave this city
That I have called home for a decade plus –
I’ll leave to go adventure, and see what sights I can see.
Travel the country, and even the world – if given
Enough time and money.
But as for now I’ll sit and work
And hoard the cash I need to have in order
To take such a long vacation.
And so now I do as I’ve done for years and years gone by:
I’ll sit around in my home town
Smoking and drinking and playing around
Dreaming of dreams I have already saw
And remembering all my memories
To learn what I have left to learn
From all those times that are now gone…
What treasures this world does hold.
