Past Days

Sometimes it feels like
my best days have past.
Those long ago summers
flew by us so fast.

The whole time was spent
sitting around together,
and wishing for something
besides warm weather.

We'd swim at the pool
and get great tans.
We'd hang out at night
drinking pop from cans.

As we got older,
things changed a bit.
Our activities shifted
towards more adult shit.

Instead of talking,
we'd make out in the dark.
Instead of movies,
we'd drink in the park.

We'd drive around town
laughing a ton.
No matter the day
we'd always have fun.

We were there for each other
for the good and the bad.
We were so close,
you couldn't stay mad.

I look back to then
and wonder what went wrong.
What has changed?
It hasn't been long.

It was such a great time
when we went out.
I never realized
our time would run out.

But I promise myself that
the future holds more.
I just need to find
the next opening door.
