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
