Even the sun danced differently on my skin back then

Sugar didn't taste rotten

All of us,
Together,
Heaven

Air was light and didn't sit in my lungs like bricks, bees were scary, but my uncle taught me how to play the guitar

Our voices were high like floating balloons disappearing into the spring clouds, our laughter constant like the seasons

My mother didn't try to kill me or herself

And I never had the urge to do both

We were together, happy
always, holding hands by the lake, three colors melted together like ombre

And I miss it.
