ADOLESCENT NOSTALGIA (An Original Poem)

Remember the boats of oak leaves we made?
We laughed watching them flow along the river,
walking to school; playing with snow...
That was when we were little kids,
can you remember?

Sitting in a backyard caressing under the moon,
waiting for my cousin to get there;
watering the terrace, having my first thoughts...
That was growing up,
I do remember.

Seating on the sill with the sun, smoking a cigarette,
the almond-tree dancing with the wind;
walking the dog in hope you will hear me...
That felt so grown up,
why do I remember?

Walking alone from school in the heat,
thinking in which corner we will have a drink;
passing the rose bush; its aromas intense...
That was a while ago,
I can remember.

Getting laced and flirting away,
being drunk in a pub; discussing our life;
sitting outside on the swings with a bottle of wine...
That happened some years ago,
it's great to remember.

Getting the dull train to school,
thinking about the world; revising for my exams;
wasting the break time behind the gates...
That seems like yesterday,
I will remember.

Walking to college and the barking dog;
how great was life because you were with me;
sitting by the window - remembering away...
That time went past,
I don't have to remember.
