when i think of you & me
and what we once used to be
i think of young children
playing pretend games
in the backyards of
their parents’ homes
dressing up in pretty clothes
sneaked out from a closet
they’re not allowed in
when i think of you & me
and what we once used to be
i think of young children
who believe everything is possible
provided, they do & be good year-round
and ask santa politely
when i think of you & me
and what we once used to be
i think of young children
who have still a lot to learn
about hardships & setbacks & heartbreaks
before they get a real gist of anything
we did try our best though, didn’t we? you & me? and i still think of you sometimes, i hope that’s okay
Nostalgic, simpler times. Hope you are well Sana! 🙂

Of course! That’s completely understandable. Indeed, these are very much like summer vacation with no fixed reopening date of school.
