Seems like yesterday.
We ran madly in the rain
Careless of lightning, muddying our white frocks,
Laughing, laughing,
Trying to hold onto an umbrella,
As the wind whipped wildly around us.
Seems like yesterday.
We held hands and stood on the balcony
Counting the wavy blue lines on the ocean
Dreaming impossible dreams
Spinning cobweb fancies
And cried at the very thought of parting.
Seems like yesterday.
We held our ears to the cracks in the walls
That divided our classrooms
And wrote notes under the teacher’s nose
And quarreled and made up
And laughed, always laughed.
Seems like yesterday.
Is this really us?
Are we really here, in this place, in this time?
Are these,
The adult burdens we carry
The somber issues we face
The realities of our lives?
Are these our dreams
Lying shattered at our feet?
Are these the walls
That time has used to imprison us?
Where are you my friend,
Cherished part of my being?
Have we lost each other in the web of life?
Still, seems like yesterday
