30 Years Later

An ode to the past

Every now and then I like to revisit those golden days.
The days in which we lived life to the fullest.
Bursting out with laughter over the silliest of things,
making videos in public, collecting memories thinking this would last forever and ever.
Who would have known 30 years later, an older version of myself would find this much comfort in our past.

Our elders were right,
we were in one of our brightest days.
The indestructible energy of a twenty year old,
the optimism and defiance that flows through.
Grabbing every opportunity and seizing the moment.
I swore I'd make a colourful life regardless of where it might take me,
and I do believe I've done my best manifesting that.
However, nostalgia's tap makes me look back in awe over those sparkly days.

Life has changed so much and so have we.
All I think of is meeting my buddies once again,
sharing big smiles, laughter and sorrow.
I guess for now I'll satiate by visiting our island of memories.
