Long-forgotten summers

Miss those long-forgotten summers

as sun kissed music lifted us

wandering for hours

not a care unfurled

when all that mattered was our own little world

those distant days and blissful nights

drunkenly talking till the morning light

as on the radio the tunes played

Oasis, Blur, Pulp, the Britpop years

soaking into our ears

I miss those singalong memories

when the sounds touched our heart energies

we would spend our days in awe

looking out at the world as something to explore

we had energy, a passion to live

we didn’t need anything; we would take all the world could give

the streets, fields

playgrounds of asphalt hidden and concealed

concrete and dirt

football on parks, drunk after dark

not in fear of getting hurt

I miss those schoolyard highs

laughing during lessons we despised

running through life

always chasing after a dream

we made every second a scream

I miss those friends

that we swore would stay forever

now long forgotten

faded faces seen through foggy weather

The days did end, and nights fell

we lost our ways, some walked through hell

but I will forever miss the memories

those lost days so summery

when the radio played songs like

Common people, Live forever, Caught by the fuzz

our lives were always a buzz

those days when our youthful hearts danced

and the nights when we felt entranced

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love
