Remember when we didn't have any grudges to hold, nor did we know how to hold them.

Just playful, free spirits with two individual energies, tingling, entangling us and them.

Remember when it was easy to be together, and when any other option was a strain.

Remember the time like in a sand box, faded now, like the feeling of the plastic spoon against your palm. 

Remember how real, how it felt like forever. Who'd have known that today you'd never read this. Never hear this heart.

Who'd have known that one day you'd choose to leave the playground for a grown up pain, a grown up way. 

Who'd have known that one day the safer of the options would be to feel less and flatten the castles we would make,

To smooth out the bumps and lay down your heart, to solemnly beat, alone, slowly, not engaged or tangled in mine. 

It's a decision no child would make, a life no child would dream. Only age could bring this

And take that away.
