~ Do You Remember ~

Do you remember ? The taste of milk & cookies, and that of PBJ. The wait for new comic books, then reading them night and day.

Do you remember ? The smell of mom’s perfume, and sweet sound of her voice. Running to her when in trouble, her fake anger, as if she had a choice !

Do you remember ? Smell of air after an unseasonal rain, Winter’s first flurry when it snowed overnight. Getting dirty in the puddles, or pretending to die in a snowball fight.

Do you remember ?  
Getting angry with your best friend,  
but patching up, the very next moment.  
Playing hooky and chasing butterflies,  
all that chaos but life made sense.

Nothing has changed,  
yet everything is different.  
Butterflies have turned to numbers,  
when trouble comes, you blame _kismet_.

Stop for a moment and live a little,  
It’s over in a heartbeat for life is fickle.
