Why do my fond memories fly so fast?
I keep those memories in my head but sometimes I can hardly grasp . . .
Why doesn't anyone else remember?
Only I remember those nice or important moments.

Why do I miss my childhood so much?
Things were easier and more fun.
I do make my life fun still because I can't let go of my kid-self yet.
I don't think I ever will.
And I hope I never do.
That kid-self is me.
Even if those memories are over and missed.

Why do we forget?
It seems so odd to forget.
To forget who we are.
Or to forget those childhood friends.
But isn't it odd to remember too?
Trying to climb the roof next to your best friend's house,
playing Hide 'n' Seek in the dark against her brother and his friend(s).
Or talking on the phone for hours about nothing important.
Crossing the busy road everyday to go jump on the trampoline or go to the dollar store.
Those memories fade each year . . .
And my tears fill those empty memories of the past.
But it seems like there's no soft pillow to wipe my tears on anymore.
Or even a friendly shoulder to cry on.

They're my memories that people can only imagine.
They're my memories no one else can see . . . Or feel . . .
As well as I did . . . of that day . . .
I've been pretty sad and homesick lately . . .
