eternity

I remember days when the air was so thick with lies and emotion
that it was hard to breathe much less think.

Those were the days of summer nights when rubber bands could never break
less the world come crashing down and unknown disasters would annihilate me.

Those were the days of winter cold; the first heartbreak cracked like ice.
I just knew I would die.

Those were the days of visions, artificial or otherwise.
It’s so easy to lose track when you have no mind.

Those were the days of love, as best I could perceive.
A ghost, an imperfect shadow of what could possibly be.

Those were the days of dreams; so elusive, so enticing.
Now realized and never lost.

we live for eternity.
