Fireflies In a Jar

WE'D STAY OUT AFTER DARK. CATCHING FIREFLIES IN A JAR. THE MOON SHONE ON OUR FACES AS WE STARED UP AT THE STARS. WE'D RIDE THAT RUSTY SWINGSET SAIL HIGH INTO THE AIR. BET WHO COULD SWING THE HIGHEST. WARM BREEZES THROUGH OUR HAIR.. WHEN YOU AND I GOT OLDER WE'D DRIVE DOWN TO THE PARK SIT SIDE BY SIDE IN THE,SUMMER GRASS AND YOU'D KISS ME IN THE DARK. WE'D STAY AND TALK FOR HOURS ABOUT WHO WE WANT TO BE. YOU SAID YOU COULD NEVER BE TIED DOWN YOU NEEDED TO BE FREE. YOU DREAMED OF TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD. TO LANDS BOTH NEAR AND FAR. NOTHING WOULD EVER HOLD YOU BACK. LIKE FIREFLIES IN A JAR. THAT SUMMER ENDED QUICKLY AND YOUR FAMILY MOVED AWAY. MY FRAGILE HEART WAS BROKEN I MISSED YOU EVERY DAY. BUT THE YEARS KEPT MARCHING FORWARD AND THE PAIN BEGAN TO FADE. I GREW UP AND GOT MARRIED A SIMPLE LIFE I 'VE MADE. BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I'LL SIT IN THE SUMMER GRASS AND MY MIND BEGINS TO WONDER ABOUT THE BOY THAT HAUNTS MY PAST. I WONDER IF HE'S HAPPY. I WONDER IF HE'S FREE. I WONDER IF HE LOOKS UP AT THE STARS AND EVER THINKS OF ME. AND THOUGH THOSE DAYS WERE LONG AGO THE PAST IS NEVER FAR. THOSE MOMENTS STILL SHINE BRIGHTLY LIKE FIREFLIES IN A JAR.
