just passing by

i turned around, looked behind me, and saw that everything around me changed.

the trees that once stood tall faded into the background until all that was seen was a pale old thing. that street was once covered with neon chalk, so full of imagination and wonder. it has become an uneven road, washed out into a dull pavement. the swing that once brought joy and glee, only squeaks as the wind blows it into motion.

i turned back, looked around, and saw that everything around me was changing.

the wind blew our soft hair in disarray. we laughed as the momentary breeze brought a calmness that may never be experienced again. the gentle smile that followed will never be forgotten. moments like these, are only cherished years later, years forgotten.

I look forward and everything around me disappears.

everything, but You.
