Seems like yesterday; but, it was long ago...... no words could ever seem as true as this proverb. Tonight, as I do many of nights; as the darkest of sky slowly fads into a deep hugh of midnight blue, reflect upon where I'm going, but most importantly...... where I've been.
Feels like a lifetime ago; when the world was new, fresh and untouched. I looked forward to this second; where I'm writing now. At the time I had no idea what laid ahead of me.... just knew the ending.
Feels like a fragment of a dream I barely remember upon awaking. The memories of childhood, and those whom I shared it with. I remember those spring nights, sitting at the Pizza Hut parking lot- after work; with some of the best friends that I ever had. Talking about the future and what was to become. Always promising that the bond we shared would never be broken. Breaking balls and pipe dreams was the usual after work conversation. Never knowing the dangers, tradgities, love or losses that lied ahead. Not ever seeing that one of us; wouldn't be here right now, in this second.
One thing that can shatter bonds and can destroy everything...... time. That remade song from the Bangels enters my thoughts..... time....time....time..... see whats become of me....... If the miles and silence would not be there; would they?? If given a chance to met in that same parking lot right at this second.. would we all be there?? Picking up where we left off??
Does the old crew remember me as fondly as I remember them?? Or has time just sweetened memories almost forgotten?? Somewhere, beneath the soft whisper of a warm spring night do those voices still hold?
And YOU READER..... do you sit back and look out the window, into the darkness and remember a life you once forgotten?? Remember promises, hopes and dreams made long ago?? When a song from a by-gone era plays on the radio; does it act like a time-machine and take you back?? Tell me then?? Do those memories hold up to the fondness in your heart??
