The Perfect Moment in Time - Poem

Remember when you had no worries.

Sure you might have thought about school.

You might have had troubles at home.

But between thirteen and fifteen, it was the perfect moment.

We lived outside, We spent our days and nights exploring our small kingdoms that started and ended at town borders.

We took the bus or the train, sometimes rode our bikes. 

We could walk to the fields and make a fort.

We could take a football and play anywhere, it was all ours to play on. 

Remember when you had no expectations. 

You didn't care or think about jobs. 

You might have thought about girls and you might have even had a girlfriend. 

But between thirteen and fifteen, it was the perfect time. 

We smoked weed and cigarettes for the first time. 

We drank our first beers and go giggly silly drunk. 

We got the nerve to test out pubs, we danced at house parties until we puked.

We had our first kiss, and some even more. 

We fought and cried thinking this was the most important thing in the world. 

Remember when you lived for the minute. 

You had no schedule after the school bell rang. 

You might have homework but that could always wait, who cared about future prospects. 

But between thirteen and fifteen, we were the main characters of it all. 

We played card games and computer games until our eyes couldn't take no more. 

We had breakups and hook-ups that moved the world. 

We found love and lost it all in one great night. 

We saw the world changing and swore it wouldn't take us with it. 

Remember when you lived so simply.

You had friends that have now grown up. 

You might have tried to stay in touch. 

Those girls went off and got married. 

Your boys have started families

But remember when you lived forever. 

That perfect moment in time.
