Remembering those summers spent in blissful happiness
Tip toeing through the halls I used to conquer,
Sniffing the smells that are better than any perfume
For perfumes are only scented water, holding no memories, no emotion.
This wraps me in rememberings of the best days of my life.
Days engulfed in playing & laughter, along with adventures
Spending time with people who loved me so very much,
No matter what mommy says.
I pray I never forget those summers
When I got to test my wings for a few special days
Those days made me who I am now
I got to control my fate, got to make decisions.
Got to stay up late & sleep in, got to get presents of the most wondrous kind.
Nostalgia of this kind is the best
Allowing the pictures to run through my mind
Re-assembling those beautiful clips of my other life.
It was my safe place, my harbor.
How my little heart broke when it was striped from me.
How many nights I cried for the things I'd never get back
My childish hands clasping around the beautiful gifts as I tried to stay strong.
But what is done, is done, life has gone on.
My heart is still so open to them, still wide open.
That was a different time of my life.
A time when I had an older companion, a big brother.
A time when there had been no boys to twist my heart into something I can't recognize.
Those days are long since past, but I have a feeling they are still here.
Inside our minds & inside our heart
Learning things, growing up that's what did happen.
It is still happening, every second.
They were the people who believed I could be anything
I want to think they still do, but so many don't.
What does it matter? It will only ruin happy recollections
Of days I wish hadn't had to end.
Because when I walk through that house,
I am eight again, feeling so safe in their loving arms.
