closing my eyes i see my young self biking around the neighborhood without a care in the world. my friends and i would race against the wind like speed demons, shouting at the top of our lungs and celebrating a carefree attitude that we had no idea would eventually disappear once we all got older. the melting sun would run its vibrant red yellow purple and blue across the sky, a perpetual sunset hanging over us that made it seem like the day would never end.
i guess when you’re that young, you think everything lasts forever.
