So, I've been away from poetry soup for a while. I moved, started college, had to graduate, basically 2016 was a crazy year. Now I'm preparing for a service mission and have some down time. I was reading my work and decided I don't like some of the lyrics to songs I posted because really songs are a form of poetry, but don't read well. I decided to revise some of my lyrics into a poem format that works better for the site. I won't take down the old version though, so don't worry if you liked them. :)

Hey, its been a while 10 or 20 years I guess I'm just in denial How did we grow so old Since we were young and bold Remember the times we used to have? Just the two of us lying on the sand. Hey haven't seen you around Guess I haven't seen you since I got outta this town Remember the days By the riverside Don't remember who pushed whom in But if we fought I would always win. I guess I'll see you again In another 10 We'll remember the days it doesn't have to be that way Take my hand I won't lead you astray You trusted me then, remember the days... Remember the laughter And the music we shared Remember the good times? I wish we were there Back in the days when we were free All I had was you All you had was me Remember the secrets told in firelight? Remember the sweetness Of smore’s cooked just right? Back in the days when we were free All I had was you All you had was me Remember the laughter And the music we shared Remember the good times? I wish we were there
