Memories✨💫☄️🌤️🌅

We were frozen in time

Back at the beach 

Waves crashing against the rocks

And clouds covering the sun

We were back at the beach 

Reliving those days filled with mirth

And happiness so immense, 

Unparalleled even by the sky in all its enormity

We were lost in those yellow parchments

In scribbled notes swearing secrecy

In stories that never aged 

And secrets that remained untold 

Untouched by hearts other than ours

We were caught off guard

By those starry Nights

By that humbling peace 

And liberating laughter

An unending joy

That proclaimed our euphoria

Limned by the brilliance of the opaline stars

We were held captive 

In a cage forged from our memories

A sole supernova to our dying star

That left us questioning

How life had morphed

Leaving none but a revelated reality

That accentuated the contrast 

Between a conceit of the days that were

And a reminiscence of the days that had been

We parted ways with a token

That would turn to a legend of gold

And a chronicle of the past 

But an assertion of the myths that were real

And a memory of the fairytales we lived
