Oh I remember it well,
The security and freedom all at once.
I remember the laughing,
I remember almost crying,
Laughing till more than your stomach is tightening.
I remember the smiles,
Wide from ear to ear,
Photographs that capture the feeling of you near.
I remember the adventures,
Taking giant leaps of faith,
Free falling to escape.
I remember the warmth,
The summer sun shine,
The cold of beers when you were still mine.
I remember the excitement,
The butterflies and longing,
My body and soul almost belonging.
I remember the honesty,
When you said nothing at all,
All I needed was to hear your breath rise and fall.
I remember the joy,
Of simply being together,
Responsibilities as light as a feather.
I remember our youth,
The intensity of it all,
Emotions like tidal waves that rise and fall.
