here it is..I'd like it to be a song, its long, but I wrote it when tons of memories were coming to me from what I like to call 'back in the day'
Last night I looked out the window of the kitchen of
my current foundation. In the distance,
I saw the red light on the water tower
which marked the X on the map of my little town that fills me with such nostalgia.
A flood of memories come flying by.
I remember when I was small, but that was when in my mind
I was so big, and so was everything around me. I was a small town kid living in a small town metropolis, where one year seemed more like five. The weeks felt more like months, and days very well could have lasted
forever.
Bus stops by the log yard. Playing in the dirt at noon. Leaving home on my bike, not even saying a single word to let them know. I better drive thru Dog Alley fast, I just might get eaten alive. Those were the days. Warm sunny summers, they'll never leave my mind. But that was years ago, so many yesterdays ago, and right now I am stuck in tonight.
Remember when we tried to build the house in the pear tree? We never quite got
it finished but the old remains from our attempts at big
ideas still rot there today. Remember the cheers that echoed from the local ball park
all the way to our house? Endless summers, the ice cream truck's in town, playground on the square , look what I just found!, sun burns to the max, the longest bike rides, green pools, and slip-n-slides. New school years, enjoyable days, winter fun, and 2hr delays. ...what I'd give to relive it all again. So many things to say, not enough space to let it all out, not enough time to write about this nostolgic kid, who I call myself.
Back when I was a kid, time seemed to stand still, and the days lasted forever. But then comes that one day, that day when we grow up and realise just how fast our childhood has came and gone. When you think about it, that is one of the biggest oxymorons in life we’ll ever know. No one ever said we ever had to truly grow up. That small town kid, it's what this heart will always show.
