those days are gone

It's sad sometimes
knowing the heart things

knowing that someday
this will all be over

all the carefree
playing and laughing and being free
flighting the stairs
two or three
at a time

but those days are gone....

its hard sometimes looking back
at all the best days of your life
where friends and parents and rules
and breaking curfews
ruled your world

all of everything was more important then
and the little things didn't matter much

but now they do

don't you wish on those days,
those days are long gone...

and so many years later,
looking back on all of that
makes life seem more lived

but now,
 in my happiness and yours
those knowing days are over

and we can just live
