being grown up

Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer
It was the best I ever had
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
And not a spoken feeling
I’m knowing that right now is all that matters.
All the nights we stayed up talking
And listening to 80’s songs;
Quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...

Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
Is just following your heart
And eventually you’ll finally get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
And wreaking havoc on our world
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top’s singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
Illuminate the blackest nights
Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
2015 riverside, it’s time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it’s time to go.

Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
Is just following your heart,
And eventually you’ll finally get it right.


It's important to not forget what you hold important in your heart. There is a need to protect that which means everything to you-- even if it's gone. It's important to keep it in your heart so you won't ever forget, so you won't ever lose, so you would hold on, to things that mean something to you, to things that make you remember who you were, and hopefully, who you still are....

Though sometimes, a song is not enough.
