An End to an Era

An End of An Era Late-night drunken philosophy over waffle house coffee A little existential dread to go with your scattered, smothered and covered All the faces you may never see again Cool water perfume ,burgundy hair and blue eyeshadow My addidas that had poetry written on them You smelt like dragons blood incense, salt and rust Sunrises in the city park Holding hands on the swingset We talked all night but can't remember a damn thing we said I saw heaven in holey jeans out all night with you running the streets Enamored with the way the light at dawn made your skin glow We were kings of the world They say hold on to your youth while you're young but time was always wasted on us We acted like we didn't know what it was until it was gone Like so many things time creeps up on you, one minute you got it all the next second you blink And 20 years have gone It hurts less when you realize the years never really leave you Your existence is a vessel of memories I saw a photo of this sign today And you came running back to me
