When We Were Kings

I remembered for a moment when you and I were kings-
Living like we didn't care much about anything.
We shared the best of times in that boiling summer heat-
Lighting strips of gasoline in the middle of the street.
How careless we once were and to reminisce again-
But we can’t even talk like we used to way back then.
When our only worry was where to skate or what to do that night-
The girls we tried to lure in but rarely got a bite.
So I wonder if you think about those times when we were young.
Now they're days I dream about even though I forget some.
And things may not have been easy; learning right from wrong.
We both were living out our lives but yours didn’t last as long.
I would reach out for a moment but where can you be found?
You've floated out there for so long and never came back down.
But thinking of those yesterdays, I know you're still out there.
Drifting through the atmosphere, your soul as light as air.
Either way its hard to think about how much has changed.
Everything is different now so it’s hard to stay the same.
But I hope you can be honest with yourself and where you are.
And when the day turns into night and you're up in the stars-
Make a wish and reminisce to someone close to you.
About a time when we were kings and the things we dared to do.
