Strange, how things change so fast.
Sighs...

Dear stranger,
Have you forgotten how we used to be?
What we used to be?
How we used to walk?
..downtown in our favorite grey pairs of sweatpants and hoodies.
Caring only about the sweet crazy conversations,
And not about how we looked.
How we used to wake up early to walk to school,
Despite knowing how far it was,
But, we never felt it, did we?

Have you forgotten already?
How we used to stay up all night in your father's garage,
Talking about how to raise our kids,
And how cute we would still look when our hairs turn grey,
While eating junk at the back of his pick-up.
And not for once,
Worrying about adding weights,
Only talking about things we wanted forever with,
How happy we were!

"Forever, and ever!" We called it,
But strange how things changed so fast,
Sighs..
