pre-text: met my friend of 10, 11 years...and we reminisced about the good ol' days. he reminded me of things i've forgotten about..things that made me laugh then and now.
muse: ac
silly catching games and name-callings
weightless laughs and free flowing tears
simple thinking and petty quarrels
friendships though seemingly fickle, stood the test of time
fairytales provided a rough map of our life
then we grew
in height and weight
in mind and body
we grew up
now we play games of all sorts
the game of life and love
where winning is everything and losing hurts
names we call people are no longer for fun
laughs are heavy with past baggage
executed with care and caution
tears come more easily now
thinking and rationale and logic and mindset and perspective
complicated and twisted and less clean than before
friendships forged now are indeed fickle
looking for directions in life
we look at the map we have
and realised they sold us lives we can never have
but we were children then, you see.
