Apparently the cafeteria we always went to at the bottom of the hill
Is going to graduate with us
It's only now I've realized
That these ordinary days are really something to remember
It's only now I've realized
What I really wanted to know on the day before graduation
Wasn't the reason for the Earth's rotation
Or about Pavlov's dog
But if it was really going to end like this
We were the only ones
Sitting in the deserted classroom
It made me laugh a little
The sky was a nice sunset-color
With a vapor trail across it
I guess someday I'll be able to laugh
At how young I was back then
Like the sun sinking into the horizon
It's time to say farewell to our youth
Farewell, my youth
I insisted
I didn't need the memories
But I can never beat the past
I loved those times
And I love to look back and laugh about them
All alone in the pitch dark
The pink wind and the faint purple scent
On the piano in the music room
When I grow up
I'll be able to drink as much as I want
But will I lose the ability to fly?
Goodbye
The sweat-drenched field
And the long tone of the trumpet
I don't think I can say "goodbye"
Apparently the cafeteria we always went to at the bottom of the hill
Is going to graduate with us
It's only now I've realized
That these ordinary days are really something to remember
It's only now I've realized
see, i was trying to figure out if this was the lyrics to a song.
ReplyDeletethen i realized that it was just your angst-ridden poetry. Who knew?
p.s I had oatmeal crisp from a special k box AND a banana for breakfast. Touche ;)
