Golden hues of youth, now a fading dream - tangerines in hand, a sticky sweetness on my tongue - lying on lush grass, a warmth on my skin - innocence and wonder, a time now gone.

We were once the lambs, pure and unafraid, but now the goat inside us stirs, and the weight of life is laid.

"Oh, how I long for the bygone days of my youth." - when the world was a picturesque haven
and my heart was a garden of wildflowers.

I roamed the fields and the forests - dancing to the rhythm of the land with nothing but the birds and the bees -

Like a photograph, frozen in time - all come flooding back, as I hear the words "seven".
