My Misguided Youth



It was when we thought we were the center of the universe.
When we were the center of our universe.
When our hair was long, blonde, and straight.
Before we had braces.
When we had curfews.
It was before our parents trusted us.
Before we made our own decisions.
When Fall Out Boy was the anthem of our road trips.
When boys were second best and kissing was all we thought about.
When the wind picked up and lifted our bangs from our faces and we didn't care.
Before we didn't need cream and sugar in our coffee.
Before we drank coffee.
When our biggest problem was cleaning our room.
It was before we were good at anything.
But when we believed we were amazing at everything.
When we thought we knew everything.
Before we wanted to learn.
Before we understood.
When we still thought cafeteria lunches were nutritious.
Before we understood what love actually was.
It was before I met you...
