"Remember When" is a nostalgic poem that takes readers back to the simple joys of childhood ---- carefree play, laughter with friends, and the innocence of days without worry. It reflects on how life changes as we grow up, but reminds us that the spirit of fun, curiosity, and freedom can still be carried into our present lives.
We all grow up or have to grow up at some point. All through many of us wish we could go back to the days when we didn't have to pay bills
Or maybe the days when we got to take naps during school
Or maybe the days when we all used to play with each other without talking bad about one another
Wait and you can't forget the days when we used to play outside all day long with the neighbors and all
Do you remember that?
Do you remember when we used to play school with each other and argued who's gonna be the teacher?
Do you remember when we used to play hide and seek and we would run as fast as we could so the seek wouldn't catch us?
Do you remember when we didn't care what we wore out to the grocery store?
Do you remember when we didn't compare ourselves to one another?
Do you remember when the boys and girls used to argue because the girls used to always say "girls go to college to get more knowledge and boys go to jupiter to get more stupider"?
Boy that was a time!!
Do you remember when we didn't care what we ate or how we ate?
Do you remember when we didn't count our calories everytime we ate something?
Do you remember when we used to have the fake dance battles like we were on the show bring it?
Ou whew them were the days!!
Remember when we didn't care who we were partners with?
Remember when we didn't care what the circumstances were and we had fun regardless?
Do you Remember that?
Do you remember the days where we didn't have to worry about negative thoughts in our heads?
Remember when we were just ourselves and didn't pretend we were someone else?
Do you...remember?
Because I remember it like it was yesterday and to see how much we've changed is kinda bittersweet.
But you should know that just because you've gotten older doesn't mean you can't have fun.
Always Remember That.
