27 days

-- grace

27 days

that's all we had

27 days

living like the last

once it's over

the clock strikes twelve

a slipper lost

the magic fades

our last teenage dream

27 days

our hot girl summer

"absolutely transformational!"

we'd tell bob

from tadpoles to frogs

humans to beaver ballers

memories that (seemingly) never fade

but alas,

time cannot spare

time cannot care

and there comes a day

our golden days

may fade to grey

coast to coast

connections online

a window to a life

strangers to cautious friends

friends to better friends

freedom from pre-understandings

school life brings

27 days

i'll cherish them so

maybe we're planets in our different orbits

asteroids exploring the pockets of the universe

trains passing by

but you are

the stars in my sky—

invisible to the eye

but always there

so wherever we might be in the universe

whatever mountain you have to climb

i'll be there

so

to my golden friends

i love you so <3
