Je veux vivre
by 1victorlouis
I remember sun kissed streets
Where the smell was sweet
I woke up to breeze
Clinging on the sheets
The sunlight danced on the drapes.
I remember taking walks
Circling the hilltops, even when it rained.
To the coast of Les Issambres.
I faintly remember the smell, flowers and rain.
I was happy then, when I was then.
And my friends. O, my friends.
They who I grew up with
And truly cherished
Even when we fought we blemished fairish.
I longed to fight with you.
But daylight passes to dusk
And memories begin to fade
One face becomes another’s
And now I share my story with them
