Sixteen
Remember when innocence
Was the default?
Remember when no one
Was really at fault?
Remember when morals
Were just being learned?
Remember when friendships
Once lost were returned?
Remember when playgrounds
Were our first home?
Remember when we
Were never alone?
Remember simplicity
When it was around?
Remember when nothing
Was ever profound?
Remember those days
When life was enjoyed--
Remember when nothing
Was ever destroyed--
Remember the laughs
That filled our days--
Remember those times
Remember our ways.
Those days.
I want them back.
