When We Were Us

When We Were Us

A Poem by Child of God
"

A tribute to my favorite people :)

"

Hey guys,

 

Its been awhile.

 

Are you still finding reasons to smile?

 

Do you still go on long walks at night?

 

Do you still know your futures bright?

 

Can you find the place where memories sleep?

 

Were there any you thought were fine to keep?

 

Are some still playing hide and seek?

 

Are we still there? Are we in your heart?

 

I know over time weve grown apart,

 

But is there some place that we still are?

 

Are we drawing symbols on a roof?

 

Or in our favorite Ihop booth?

 

Watching clouds, and finding shapes?

 

Texting group chats were home safe?

 

Skyping Adam from far away?

 

Celebrating memorial day?

 

Calling just to say hello?

 

Making videos in the snow?

 

Or are we lost, and perhaps forgotten?


Have all the good times just gone rotten?

 

Where have we gone? Where could we be?

 

Are we still trying to find D.C.?

 

Wherever we are, I hope we're happy.

 

I hope were smiling, and I hope were laughing.

 

I hope its Wednesday, and the sun is gone.

 

And weve all met up by the pond.

 

I hope we remember when we get old,

 

The same old stories weve over told.

 

I hope you know I love you guys,

 

Im sorry for the times Ive made you cry.

 

Maybe someday our hearts will roam,

 

And find a way to come back home.

 

I pray the memories never fade,

 

Of the place where five young hornets played.

 

Thats where Ill be waiting friends,

 

Until the day we meet again.
