Dear friends,<\/p>\n
Do you remember the time\u2026?<\/p>\n
Do you remember the time in that English class,<\/p>\n
the one when we first met, sitting quiet not knowing what to say<\/p>\n
we didn\u2019t know then what we know now<\/p>\n
sunrise of our friendship, the six of us, that day<\/p>\n
Do you remember that time when a guy kept picking on one of us<\/p>\n
he ended up confronted, a year later he told me<\/p>\n
boys, we girls still think you were silly doing that<\/p>\n
but our hearts warmed, you were being protective, you see<\/p>\n
Do you remember the time when we camping on a summer night,<\/p>\n
the night was chilly, the first time we drank wine<\/p>\n
parents don\u2019t have to know, kids<\/p>\n
far away from where we were, we found ourselves right<\/p>\n
Do you remember the late phone calls,<\/p>\n
those that chewed up the electricity bills<\/p>\n
sorry mom, we are doing homework<\/p>\n
(for like twenty minutes, then \u201cthere\u2019s this new album just released\u201d)<\/p>\n
Do you remember the sleepover right?<\/p>\n
they said girls\u2019 night out were really the best<\/p>\n
they were right, all the talk, the laughter that never end<\/p>\n
and finally dozing off at 4am<\/p>\n
Do you remember the time, when two of us fell for one another<\/p>\n
the purity, awkwardness, shy blush<\/p>\n
oh the innocence, away it rushed<\/p>\n
seventeen, holding hands on the changing verge<\/p>\n
Do you remember riding motorbikes that Saturday<\/p>\n
to an orphanage we volunteered, the good-heartedness we had<\/p>\n
one of us bled the knees as the scooter slid<\/p>\n
smiled and stood up, yes we stood up above pain<\/p>\n
And the last days of school, do you remember<\/p>\n
and the flights and distances that follow it<\/p>\n
different seats at the table turned to continents apart<\/p>\n
leaning my head against the window, I dreamed<\/p>\n
I remember our lives, loves, mischief and friendship<\/p>\n
\u201cin that moment I swear we were infinite.\u201d[1]<\/sup><\/p>\n in that moment we had it<\/p>\n the world in our hands, youngsters always think<\/p>\n These are the days of our lives,<\/p>\n the bright, laughter-filled, sun-lit moments that thrive and flourished<\/p>\n in our little hearts, every time I think of us,<\/p>\n again, I see the sunrise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [1] Stephen Chbosky (1999). \u201cThe Perks of Being a Wallflower\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear friends, Do you remember the time\u2026?
