i am shakes and shivers ...
It's funny how fast everything changes. How something could impact the lives of so many and then just fade out, becoming a ghost in the background of everything that used to surround it. A friendship, a forgery, a sound. Everything goes away with time.
But it's always there. Lurking in the background. It's in the melody, the hi-fives, the laughs. In the back of your mind, something always reminds you of it, makes you smile and say, 'I remember when.' Memories, so bittersweet they make you ache. But you know, things are better the way that they are.
Friends lie, everybody gets found out, and that moment in time inevitably ends. You grow up, you grow apart, and you learn to move on.
To the summers spent lying in front yards, rolling around.
To the nights spent across telephone wires, breathing in beat.
To the winters spent singing along, saving ourselves.
To the days spent skipping classes, dying to live.
To the falls spent in packed downtown clubs, finding our faith.
To the years spent becoming who we are ...
Here's to letting go.
